Well, some of us don't..but what I was merely pointing out, is that some people love to moralize about the 'legality' of various things, then pick and choose what is OK for them to do, and wrong for others to do. Maybe the pot thing was 'less than a good example'..so let's try this one...Illegal aliens have been crossing our borders, and even killing ranchers, on our side. Now the 'uber-left', seems to justify that, and make excuses, but then turn around and condemn the killing of OBL, based on the same illegality, of crossing a border, to take some one out!
Two things: We are either 'relieved' or 'glad' OBL was snuffed, or we are opposed to it, and that should be consistent with other border crossings to commit murder, including those killings of innocent citizens, sorta like 911 as well, or we oppose all of it..not just those whose policies we agree with! Secondly: For all those who are standing on using the legality of their interpretation of international law, you can spout off all your interpretations, to defend this action, which seems understandable, but those who you are defending, would just as soon put a bullet in YOUR head, because they don't recognize international law, and because you are not of their particular sect of Islam..no matter how much you vehemently, side with them!!! Not only that, they wish to replace your international law, with Sharia law, which justifies a lot more death sentences, for things your/our cultures take for granted, every day.
That being said, personally I abhor, not only war, but what our government has been doing throughout the world, on the behalf of other 'special interests', and then cloaking it all with hypocritical rhetoric, for the public, back home. This has been going on through both types of administrations, left or right,(doesn't matter), and we here at home, are left with a tragically divided public, which division itself, keeps the main problems from being addressed! Rarely, does it seem, that when a new policy is acted upon, it is NOT in the interests of the public at large, but rather to facilitate whatever 'special interest' from making a profit, from its implementation!
The OBL killing(?), was done for political expediency, more than protection of the West, but because it was also beneficial(we think) for us as well, we'll see these arguments take place.
So, if you want Sharia law to replace international law, or, if you want to see Sharia law, become international law, consider this as well. The law you are defending would make it 'legal' to kill you instantly, for not swearing allegiance to 'Allah'..but if you did that, to their INTERPRETATION of Sharia law, that most accurately fits THEIR radical views. You might say it is a battle of the 'laws'.
Sometime it will occur to some of you, that, as I said before, WAR is the breakdown of ALL laws!....and this particular war that is going on, is going to get a LOT nastier, and crueler and chaotic, that anyone can imagine!
Does that justify any of what is going on? Right now, or at least for the moment, we have gathered lots of intel from the raid...perhaps that can stall more bloodshed....while we use that time to 'rip-off, illegally, and hypocritically others in the world community...not for peace, not for order, but for the profiteers, and control freaks, to keep the peace at home, long enough to force the public, to become dependent, buy and use the resources that keep them in power!
There is another law, yet still, but the uber-left, the far right, and Sharia law ALL hate...and that is, "Love God above all THINGS" and Love your neighbor as yourself"......but that's to lame for all you 'progressives'...(rolls eyes)....
