I still haven't gotten an answer from a liberal explaining why it's OK
to bomb folks running on the ground in Pakistan, but we have to give a
'fair trial with lawyers and a jury' to terrorists who try to kill us.

Perhaps because the "folks" running on the ground in Pakistan are in a
foreign territory, are engaged in military campaigns against us, are
considered the enemy, etc.; whereas, the people who are arrested in the US
are entitled to Due Process and the Rule of Law. Perhaps because things like
Due Process and the Rule of Law separate us from the thugs that send
terrorists here.
Perhaps you need a refresher course about our country and our principles.
Welcome back Em. Hope your holidays were all you had hoped for.
As you already know, Herring doesn't need a refresher course. He
doesn't want to live in a country with due process.
He's more aligned with our own J, the insurance salesman. We should
live according to the bible and regional counsels, like the KKK. That
way we'd be on an even footing with Afghanistan and not bound by the
rules of western civilization. Libertarian rule.
