You may have a point on the dynamics of the situation on the ground. And btw, I am with you on the need to eliminate AQ. And let me be clear, I want our President to have the power to assassinate and detain indefinitely the AQ folks they find or any terrorist for that matter. However, I draw the line on American citizens. That may seem arbitrary to you, but it is part of our Constitution and all American citizens have EARNED the right to a trial by jury and to face their accusers. We shouldn't have to rely on the goodwill of our President to do the right thing, but rather we should be able to rely on the Rule of Law in this country. That way, no man, including the President is above the Law. It's a fine distinction, but I believe a very important one. Anyway, as far as the Muslims, I know it's a tangled web, which is part of the reason why I believe we should mostly leave that part of the world to its own devices and stay out of their politics. We've meddled for too long. This is why I think we should just close our bases and get out. Let them kill each other.
