I take it you would like to do away with the public school system and social security. That would be pure capitalism. Is that what you want grayarea? What about about the highway system? That is made by the government. Your logic befuddles me. We have plenty of unsolved conflicts. Dropping bombs is only an option on countries we hate. No matter how big the disagreement, we will not be bombing the UK or Italy although you suggest that since we don't have jurisdiction there, it would be legal for us to do so.

For example, with Timothy McVeigh. He was tried and convicted according to the law and now he will never kill any of us again. It's not the same as international conflict.

It would seem that death isn't the fear but who kills us. When we suspect an American of killing us, we do not drop bombs on his neighborhood yet that is what we are doing in other countries. I used to blame the politicians; not any more. I blame the millions of people who voted for them, and I blame the people who volunteered to fight in the wars. There is no glory in killing people. This is not defense. It's about being macho.
