IF they had not attacked first there would have been no bombs, no Afghanistan, Iraq, or any of that other terrorist activity retribution stuff.
Look at world history the Muslims have been at this murder, rape, rob game for 1,400 years now and they are not likely to stop anytime soon...
They only understand one thing, we kill you and if you kill us it needs to be so through to give second thought to trying again!!!
Collateral dammge... this is a dammed if you do and dammed if you don't senario.... In the Muslims world if the terrorist want to use your home as a safe place you have no choice... well you do of sorts, aid, leave or die.
So real quick if someone were to invade your home and insist they use it a HQ for evil what would you do... Here in the US you would fight back, you would try and escape, run to the neighbors house, and call the police, you would fight to the ends to defend your family.....
Now imagine a society where only the terrorist have guns, where there are no police, you do not trust your neighbor as they are likely in cahoots with the terrorists, where there is no place to go, no safe refuge, so you cooperate with them.... and become part of the problem.
Our actions are more in line with an surgical strike in an attempt to stop further incursions into our country so you can sleep at night in safety, in short you do not go a hunting in the park but take it to the lions den....
