1. Walk the walk. Stop doing evil in the world. Evil begets evil. Time and again our national policies put self interest ahead of morality. We support dictators. We arm terrorists. We arm everyone, because there is so much profit in it. We invade other countries on false pretenses. We invade a country promising to back the long suffering minority, but abandon them as soon as our self-interests are fulfilled. Then 10 years later we invade the country again, leaving it in ruins. We bomb other countries without declaring war. We ignore international law, because we can get away with it. We imprison and torture foreign suspects ignoring our own laws and morality about such imprisonments, but of course they're foreigners so morality gets suspended. This is all just off the top of my head.

2. And if we really must attack, send in troops. Yes, some of our troops may die. But it is more honest. War should not be easy. And when we say fuck it, our troop are more valuable than civilians in the firing line, what does that say about our morals? See #1.
