In practical terms, no matter how noble our intentions, it’d be best to mind our own business. Declare a great victory and go look for Osama.
Hello? Would you be happy if soldiers from a foreign army raided your home? Rich is correct. That was one of the things that truelly enraged the American Colonists - that King GEORGE had no problem forcing them to quarter British troops and be subject to search and seizure at any time. Our response to such policies was the American Revolution. Were we being irrational, or are some men created more equal than others and the Arab world doesn't count?
