Reply #44: Hate to say it, but those three thugs had it coming to them.

Don't give them credibility. I'm sorry their country is in such terrible shape from the lack of government, the toxic dumping, the overfishing, etc.

But that doesn't justify what these thugs did. They're common criminals, engaging in armed robbery, kidnapping, extortion, assault and battery with deadly weapons and murder.

We were more than patient with them. We brought in the FBI hostage negotiators, and we tried to talk sense into them. They wouldn't negotiate, started making demands, waved their Kalashnikovs around, and pointed their weapons at the hostage.

Threatening the life of their hostage was their last mistake, and our Navy SEALS were more than justified in popping them like zits. Three headshots. Game over.

We win. Explain to me why what we did in this crisis was bad?
