If we were at war with them, yes. If we were not at war, they would have no reason to use it. I'm not talking about making war for the sake of making war. I'm talking about eliminating a threat. Not some preceived threat. A real threat which is presented by the actions, not the words, not a f'n movie, the actions of radical Islam.
what if we werent at war with them but they were just tired of us sticking their nose in their business. like china maybe. we are a precieved threat to them. after all winner take all. think much?
My position is similar to this one, taken from one of the classics. Radical Islam simply can no longer be tolerated. I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. We of the other planets have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planetsâin space ships like this oneâand preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us; this power can not be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is that we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and warâfree to pursue more profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet. But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer; the decision rests with you.
Officials say embassy attack in Libya was coordinated Wednesday - 9/12/2012, 12:39pm ET J.J. Green, wtop.com WASHINGTON - Intelligence experts and U.S. government officials are starting to view the attack in Libya that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi as a coordinated attack. Several sources have said they believe it was a planned operation and have pointed out several developments that seem to support the possibility. The President has ratcheted up security at embassies worldwide because of the incident. http://wtop.com/215/3033617/Officials-Embassy-attack-in-Libya-was-coordinated
A grenade attack reportedly created a fire in the consulate building. Stevens then became separated from his staff while trying to escape to the roof and was ultimately overcome by smoke inhalation.Two U.S. Marines who were sent to the area when the disturbance began also died, along with Sean Smith, who was employed as an information management officer. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two marines also killed.
Well when you look it up don't forget to differentiate between Bush years and Obama years in Afghanistan.
Stevens was born and raised in Northern California, and graduated from Piedmont High School in 1978. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1982. From 1983 to 1985, he taught English as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco. He graduated with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1989. He later studied for a Master of Science (M.S.) from the National War College in 2010. He spoke Arabic and French. Stevens was the first sitting U.S. ambassador to be killed in office since Adolph Dubs in Afghanistan in 1979.
