allows terrorists seek refuge in their country

We have terrorists living here. So do about all euro countries.

would you be okay with Germany sending a drone here if they had intelligence of a terrorist living on our soil?

There is no international law that I know of that says a country loses soverneignty because they have terrorists there knowingly or unknowingly. A country can allow anyone they want to live in their country.

If we want to call in drone strikes, we need to have a working relationship with the countries involved, and if they have no reason to work with us, then ain't gonna happen unless we go rogue.

And, yes, we helped destroy Afghanistan because we didn't like Russia and then we left. We did it. A sin can not be mitigated if not admitted and I do think it was a sin. we used them for our own purposes and then walked and we know the rest of the story until now... perhaps now we can face our responsibilities and stop using other countries and peoples like they are toys in a game against Russia or China or anyone else. just like India and Pakistan use people to get at each other. It is wrong and harmful.

Yes, police action.

Israelis would have had Bin Laden in a matter of weeks with special forces and then left; and having cut off the head quickly, that would have been that.

But lil Bush has always been a bumbling idiot.

And it is as simple as that.
