So, if someone breaks into my house and comes at me with a knife - I can’t use my gun to defend myself? I need to get a knife?
Proportionality and discrimination between combatants and civilians have been the civilizational norm since the Middle Ages. No one has rescinded those, and no one can. The barbarity of the opponent is not an excuse to lower the civilizational standard.
Proportionality does not mean symmetry. One can use a more effective defensive weapon. It means that the response should be measured to the objective of the war. For example, if the objective is to eliminate a military threat, it is proportionate to destroy weapons, supply routes and military personnel, but not government structures or civilian areas. (Link)
I spent yesterday with several dozen Jewish people facing down the PLO Hamas supporters here in San Diego.
The PLO types also with their other anti American signs, etc.
The L. Ron Paul, Bobby Barr and Chuck Baldwin Third Party Loons who are anti war, anti Israel, 9/11 Truthers, etc.
are full of supporters on FR and their goal is to divide the Republicans with their constant RINO, all or nothing talk to divide knowing their Third party will never win only the left.
There are some Repos I don’t care much for but I stay with the GOP as only the Repos or Dems can win.
The sit at homes and Third Party loons help make possible
Obozo’s win and also helped Al Freakin in Minn.
Don’t buy into the Third Party demagogues on FR who
try to divide Republicans.
