I'll never get in on these in time to really have a discussion, but imho, we (america) need to start applying our own values of justice to our internation policy. We have become the policemen that we swore we would not. But, we do not act judiciously, we act on our extreme xenophobic tendancies. The idea that, "they would kill us without a thought, so lets get em," implies that we are to have control over other countries as if they were not soverign. The world doesn't end at our borders, and we need to remember that in our values of justice, it is "innocent until proven guilty."
