Reply #74: you're clearly ignorant on the concept of self defense, with regard to the law.

I've been aquitted in 2 states for doing just that, so don't tell me about legality. the "stand your ground" laws that are cropping up nationwide are another example.
I see, so you believe enforcing the terms of the ceasefire as well as enforcing the UN resolution that established the no fly zone were illegal? on what grounds? I suppose the sanctions and demand for disarmament were also illegal?

it's they UN's fault its a useless body, just as the LON was useless in solving the worlds problems during its time. And quite frankly, we should have learned from that failure and stayed out of the UN, just as we did the LON.

as for the targeted raid, what did you think the first strike of the current war was? it's a lot easier to talk about a targeted raid than it is to do one. We should have gone to baghdad in 91....but, we need to keep in mind the lessons learned from teh Soviet Pull Out of afghanistan and make sure there is a stable country left behind, or else we'll be back in there in a decade to clean up the mess we left from the mess that was made

and I know my view on this war isn't popular here and you and I won't agree on it. I want it over I want our boys home. but I don't want to have their kids go back to fight it all over again
