Just like it was a travesty for us to grab Al Libi.
And it would be a big no-no to go after Al Shahab militants.
If they're in Waziristan, or Afghanistan, or Somalia, or tribal Yemen, or tribal areas of Libya, your rule would be just leave them be without any interference from us.
That's the pacifist stance on the issue. Sensibly rejected by the vast majority of Americans.

I await your attempt to oust rightwing exceptionalist militarist jingoist Bernie Sanders from office.

BURLINGTON, Vt., May 2, 2011 - U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement today on the U.S. operation in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden:
"The death of Osama bin Laden is a historic moment in our fight against international terrorism and his Al Qaeda organization.
"I applaud the extraordinary bravery of those American military personnel who participated in this highly-effective operation, the intelligence operation that made it possible and the leadership of President Obama. At this moment, we also must not forget the American men and women from Vermont and around the country whose service and sacrifice in the struggle to defend our country has made us safer."
"It is impossible to predict the future, but I hope the death of Osama bin Laden and the growth of democratic movements in the Muslim world marks a momentous turning point, which leads the region toward peace and prosperity and away from terrorism, death and destruction
Unless you're going to sit there and pretend that the bin laden killing wasn't a " raid on suspected terrorists and militants in other countries."
