Advocates of the Jordanian military option project their own aspirations for security and a political settlement on the Jordanians without checking to see whether the Jordanians share their aspirations.
If the power to be happy lies within us, vs. within the particulars of our lives (getting a certain job, or car, or being accepted by a specific group of people), then that frees us to aspire to greatness without being held prisoner to those aspirations.
Around the world, every humanitarian aid worker must be free to serve without fear for their safety, and every human being must be able to pursue their aspirations in peace, dignity and security.
