The leadership of the USA consciously chose to kill to prempt greater killing in the future. Trying to accomplish the near impossible in the middle east, a functioning representative democracy. I think that this was seem as the 'least evil' solution to an intractable problem. As far as perpetuating violence: there was and is plenty to go around. The US goal is to diminish it. The Islamofascist goals are to topple major economies and political systems thru violence and terror. If you can't turn the killer into a peace lover, do you kill him or let him continue to kill?
