7. If someone tries to kill you, Are you allowed to try to kill them Back? How about the reverse?

Saddam, Mubarak, Noriega, or Gaddafi did not try to hit us back, how well did that work out for them?

Two nutcases with a rifle and a 30 year old impala nearly shut down DC. What if even a small country sent in 20 or a hundred sniper teams here? You can buy a scoped rifle in nearly any walmart.

It would not even take that. Sink a couple of oil tankers, and oil prices would skyrocket.

This is a very dangerous game we have been playing for many years now.
Somewhere along the way when you keep poking sticks into other countries hornets nests, you might get stung.
