Response to all of your insolent queries is fruitless, Sink. Your advocacies are well-enough known by all here. No point belaboring the obvious.

That said, there actually IS such a thing as International Law.

And it does NOT cover terrorists.

War, as you may recall from Theo 201, is a State-to-State item, not "terrorist-to-State." The International Law does not adequately cover terrorism in any way, shape, or form--like certain other things (e.g., homosexual marriage) it's never been a matter for consideration until recently.

Get on line with reality, Sink. Your continuous deriding of the Pope is just a little too much, especially when combined with your jingo-ism.

BTW, those of us acquainted with the use of deadly force are NEVER advocates of its utilization. That's the "point" of my post earlier. You will find that's a very consistent position from ALL graduates of West Point who have achieved more than field-grade officer status.

jingo-ism.

That's the word that's been sitting on the tip of my tongue!
Thanks.

"Jingoism?"

It's certainly obvious you're a Patsy.
