The righties make the argument that the U.S. Constitution only applies
to U.S. citizens in the USA or, at best, to some foreigners living in
the U.S.....Far too rigid.

On what legal basis would you hold that the US Constitution must apply to
non-citizens? US citizens in foreign countries are subject to whatever laws
apply in the host country, with no regard to whatever protections they may
enjoy at home. We owe no benefit or consideration to non-citizens,
particularly to non-citizens doing us harm.


....In the court of world opinion, we are judged .....

We are judged only as we allow ourselves to be judged. The term
"International Community" is an oxymoron. I have no regard for any nation
not similarly situated that would dictate to us the terms upon which we may
determine our own security and defense.
