Who are we to severely punish anybody? What gives us the right to go kick over someone else's sandcastle? Not poking at you, just askin'...
I think that's a real good question. What does give us the right to "punish" another nation?

The UN? "International" standards?

We should think very hard about that, because one day we might be the ones in violation of some "standard" or "norm" and be on the receiving end of some punishment.

Besides, I don't think that they are really sure who set the stuff off... and let's not pretend that we've got white hats and black hats over there.

In regards to the highlighted part of the quote, I agree 100%. IMPO, its a matter of a dictator versus terrorists; I'm not a fan of dictators but I hate Al Qaeda even more. SOME people may have forgotten 9/11, the Twin Towers, Flight 93, and all the lives lost in the war against Al Qaeda, but I have not. I despise this administration and the RINOs who seem bent on bowing to BHO and giving him whatever he wants. Russia may not be our pal, but we've had at least a quiet "relationship" for a while now. Why mess that up? This whole thing is stupid, and the stupid comes right from the top.
