Cuba/Venezuela wants something done about it. We do little or nothing. So Cuba/Venezuela takes matters into their own hands and starts shooting rockets in the suburbs of Houston. Then Cuba/Venezuela says you know there is a branch of this radical group outside of Toronto, and thinking about going after that once they are done in Houston.
Seems a lot of people want to give Isreal a little sympathy, cause they are Isreal. If someone did something like that to us, everyone would see it different.
Just something to think about.

Let's make the scenario a little more close to home.
Let's say that Mexico had a bad past with the US that there is no love betwen the US and Mexico.
Imagine that A South American country had for years controlled the Mexican government and would often involve themselves in skirmishes with the bordering US areas.
Assume also that years ago the US entered and occupied Nother Mexico for many years.
Now Imagine that the US, from much criticism from its own population (and the rest of the world) about occupying part of another country and about loosing American soldiers due to the fighting in that area, withdraws from Northern Mexico.
Imagine that A couple of years later with a strong push the Mexican people with the world behind them are able to push out the South American country that was controlling them Politicaly. While Mexico is able to free themselves politicaly the militant organization, that was politicaly controlling the country, sponsored by the South American country, and other US enemies, remains in Mexico.
Now about a year later, imagine that this militant force crosses over the border, goes into San Antonio, and kidnaps a couple of US Soldiers. They bring the soldiers back over the border. They then state that the US can have the soldeirs back if they release members of their organizations that are in US prisons and were captured during the previous years of fighting.
There is a strong possiblity that the militant organization is going to smuggle the two soldiers out of Mexico and to the South America country.
What should the US do?
