Hmm, well, some seem to say that and believe it. The fact is, not only does our nation kill errant Americans to preserve itself, and has done so since the nation's inception, states do it! They even kill *gasp* women! Not only is this not (supposed to be) a political issue, being more a judicial or military issue, it should be neither conservative, liberal, or libertarian. If the libertarian notion is libertine, that would far from preclude the notion it would suggest that no state even need be involved... roll your own, regardless of whether a lethal threat is offered or not.
I am not sure what goes on in some people's heads. But everyone seems to have their own particular spooks and flaws. I know some, perhaps most, of my own. Not that this helps, but knowing allows me opportunities to avoid awkward situations. Some people simply do not know. The king who wears no clothing, ignoring his own eyes to seeming wear the finest clothing? It is insane to think we would not only allow, but sanction, actions such as this. Actually, regardless of national status, anyone involved in murder and mass murder have as much right to their life, legal council, or other rights as a man who urinates on the steps of Capital Hill has of privacy.
My only issue with the need to sign off on the a death warrant, at least while the suspect is still alive, is the fact that it needs to be signed off on in the first place. Will police next need to get a court order to defend themselves or us? Further, if someone attacks me, should I call the police and ask permission to pull the attackers knife out of my gut and shoot him? Idiocy is extraordinary. Extraordinary idiocy is breathtaking.
If anything, conservativism supports my right to defend myself using any methods which are reasonable, even allowing for a state of the mind overreaction. That is not a right which is limited to citizens, either. I EXPECT my government to do this on larger issues and in places I cannot go. I expect them to protect me, mine, my neighbors, and even the socialists in big cities. As for justice, I expect that to be done. We did not simply go to Iraq for no reason. We did not go to Afghanistan for no reason. We were called out by mass murder. Justice demanded action and action has been taken. I expect them to do their jobs. Further, and actually, I would rather our forces focus specifically on Americans who are in the enemies camp. Take off the gloves and take these out. These are the greatest risk we face. They know too much and how things work here. *thumbs up*
