We try to avoid it. If it happens on our soil, all gloves are off. We used nukes in Japan, and I support that. If we use them in a first strike mode now, it would destroy our moral leadership.

I have said that if we could use nukes to avoid being hit by a nuke and could prove it, then it would be acceptable. The world community would have to be able to buy off on it. It would have to be verifiable.

I mean to add to that, the idea that we could not let the world community have ultimate sign-off, but we would need to make a very clear case for our action. It would be best if the world community did agree up front.

I don’t necessarily like it, but that’s my read.

We have a contingent here who can’t quite grasp why we do what we do overseas. I’ve tried ever other method of explaining it to them. Perhaps they’ll wake up yet.

Can’t argue with that.

Oh, they have jobs. They are militant looters that’s all. They simply use the guise of religion to cloak their thievery in religious piety. As an added bonus Islam invokes subservience upon those who are defeated by Islam. So it’s a win-win for the looters.

When they go into cities and towns they systematically loot the banks, stores, pharmacies, hospitals and homes. Where do you think they got all their new pickup trucks from, Obama? Lol, they loot the car dealerships too perhaps.

I believe all of your points to be valid except the one shall elaborate on later. My thought on the saudis and the saudi royals (different people yet similar in common country) is this. The saudi people are held in check by islam and the teachings that the west is evil aka the great satan. All problems originating for the saudi people are because of westerners and/or western culture according to the teaching of the imans with the full blessing of the saudi royals. The saudi royals fully approve of the brainwashing of their people by their imans feeding their people this tripe. The saudi royals are manipulators and play both ends of the candle against the middle of the candle. The saudi royals have determined that to maintain their power they must appear to stand at the middle of the candle while each end of the candle is lighted. This strategy has worked well for the royals.

I don't think the Saudi leadership supports things like 09/11 or other acts of terrorism.

This is NOT my opinion (above). I fully believe the saudi leadership (royals) supported and in their playing both ends of the candle against the middle of the candle supported 911. Do you remember the saudi royal that came to New York after 911 and offered New York 10 million dollars? The royals are rich enough to use their money to achieve their ends (imho). 10 million to the saudi royal was pocket change in pennies but to make their point the royals offered New York 10 million dollars?!? Am glad Rudy rejected the offer and truth be known Rudy became quite perturbed when the offer was made. 14 or 15 of the murders were saudis. They (the 14 or 15) were the core group of murderers. Nothing has changed and when there is trouble one can know there is either saudi money involved which is actually American money because of our dealings with the saudis or there is actual murderers which are saudis involved with the full blessings of the royals. isis is al qaeda. al qaeda is the moslem brotherhood. The saudi royals play the same game our media does. The saudi royals believe the alligator will eat them last if they (the saudi royals) only continue the game they play. What the saudi royals are counting on is someone will save them just as our media is playing the same game. Make no mistake; the saudi royals are not our friends just as our media is not a friend of America. Making that mistake cost us dearly on 911, thinking the Saudis were our friends, and is currently costing the lives of countless people due to isis aka al qaeda and the moslem brotherhood.
