President Obama: Do you really love America?

[abaris]

No, it's the law. It's so much a no-brainer that every society I know of operates this way according to how they punish those who cause the death of another. That's not just academic. That's how it's practically applied in real life.

Sorry, we're not talking about John Nobody going on a killing spree and Jim Upright making a mistake shooting the wrong guy.

We're talking about foreign policy, since this whole thread is about it. So the law is irrelevant and - I gladly double down on it - blah, blah. There is no court hearing both sides on the matter before coming to a decision. There's only action, reaction and basic human emotions to consider. And that's what's not happening.
