Motherfucker, did you hear how many people were talking about attacking Middle Eastern civilians across the US during that period? How many Americans talked about nuking the Middle East, turning the sand to glass, exterminating the entire region? Do you think that sounded peaceful to them? Do you think, then, that Al Qaida was justified in attacking civilian targets if said civilian had said something like that? If that's what it takes, the majority of the US population would have been valid military targets. What a load of nonsense.

But no, it only goes one way. The US can set the rules that everyone else in the world has to obey. The US doesn't have to obey anybody else's rules. Why? Because the US has power and authority. Authority that you believe in asserting over the entire rest of the world. Because you are an imperialist.

That's not even mentioning the fact that you completely ignored my entire argument. Even if it was justified to kill him in this case, it still involved giving the executive unilateral power to execute any person anywhere in the world, with zero oversight or accountability. Either you believe the executive should have that power, or you don't. You don't get to support it having that power only in the cases where you agree with the decisions the executive made. If you think you should have some say over such decisions, then you should support those decisions being democratically accountable.
