A foreign government, sending hit squads to our sovereign nation, to kill anyone it damned well pleases, including American citizens, without the slightest bit of oversight, accountability, or due process.
Come to think of it, there's a word for that: INVASION.
And here I was thinking our military's job was to prevent precisely that from happening.
I had this crazy idea that the United States was a sovereign nation (anyone know what that means?!) and is the sole jurisdiction of, well... THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE!!!
And in a surreal and bazaar turn of events, some of those who consider themselves the utmost patriots, and swore on their lives to never allow a foreign, armed force to operate in our land will cheer this, and scorn me for questioning it.
That's fine. Go right ahead and ignore the disastrous consequences of the PRECEDENT being set here. Because in a few years, with a new administration, the foreign hit squads, (and their targets) are going to be quite different...
Dentists better arm themselves...
I'd say U.S. sovereignty trumps U.S. hypocrisy. And, if Israel wants to kill someone bad enough that they'd send a hit team, most likely that person can be arrested under some U.S. law, or at least surveiled.
For all I know Israel has already killed people in the U.S., and this is just a warning to jihadists. Any plot by Israel which is discovered will hopefully cause their funding and support to plummet.
And, to the Marine, how do you know that the U.S. and Israel have common enemies? If, for instance, Israel decides that some all-American columnist who's opposed to Israel must die, do you support their assassination by a foreign "ally?"
