Our first encounter with the Mohammedans. We knew what had to be done then, after a number of atrocities.

When will find that courage, again?

It’s worth noting that Jefferson didn’t bother asking Congress for a Declaration of War before sending them.

Also related to the beachside beheadings of Christians...mentioned at The Conservative Treehouse by Aslans Girl:

"I think this is the first time ISIS has murdered on the shore… it made me think of the Marine hymn’s line “to the shores of Tripoli”. I did some research and found out that Derna, where these murders took place today, is a Tripolitan city and it’s where the US won their first military victory on foreign soil. I know today ISIS was sending a message to Egypt, but I can’t help but wonder if there’s a message to America due to the location."
