If you really think I'm opposing you out of some special love for the 'peaceful ones', then you're dead wrong, my reasoning is purely based on practicality. It's just that from a practical point of view, your suggestions would be counterproductive. We would want the whole world or at least the most of it behind us when and if we do eventually make our move on POK and for that to happen, we'd have to do it with zero atrocities on the locals, plain and simple. In any case, I don't think they'd be foolish enough to stick around when our forces start pouring in, so this whole debate is kinda moot anyway.
Oh and don't let your emotions guide you, kiddo. Trust me, decisions taken solely on emotions will bring about your downfall. So let your emotions fuel you but never guide you or the devil forbid, take over you!!
