>>>>Do you believe it would have been wrong to take Hitler out before WW2 began?


Given 20/20 hindsight and a time machine, sure, whack the bum. The problem is, we have no time machine to predict who other US Presidents would choose to take out in future administrations. The US remains a civilized nation because we limit the absolute power of our rulers. How does President Dean with an assassination squad sound to you? Laughable? That's what the average German would have said in 1931 if you asked him what he thought about the probability of Chancellor Hitler.

I take it you were opposed to Reagan's attempted "whacking" of Qaddafi?

I understand your point and in a way it is a good one that we should all consider, but in the end it boils down to why the left is so very dangerous in this country.

What you are saying is that: Since we have very screwed-up and evil people like moveon.org who are a threat to get into power, we cannot do something good using good judgment of good and evil, because a leftist moveon.org type group may get into power one day and use bad judgment and do something evil.

This only points out why it is so necessary to empasize how important the righteous character of our leaders has always been. It is not just the economy, an evil pervert could inherit a good economy.

The Bible teaches us what is important in the leaders we elect.

Our leaders must be righteous men, able men. That is, they have to be righteous men who have great ability also. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean etc. miss the mark by a mile.
