Good to know. Only liberals in the USA and the rest of the world just don't get it when the USA assassinates a General from Iran in peace time.

Aren't they always? (Rhetorical)

Yes, the USA assassinated the General of Iran. If a General has violated law, why wasn't he brought to trial through the many options available to the USA? There is no war between Iran and the USA, so it's not an option to simply kill a military person from another country such as Iran.
I will go further; why did Iraq not arrest him? Or even allow him in the country? Iraq actually supports this guy and provided political and material support to him and numerous groups under his control.

So, is the US going to sanction and/or conduct airstrikes on Iraq and Iraqi officials for supporting terrorism?

That pic is probaly 1/4 of the skyline. When I was there I couldn't take a picture to get it all.

This isn't Iraq.

John McCain..... Bomb Iran. In what world is that a song to sing on the campaign trail? I'm glad that American terrorist is dead.

It will be a disaster of epic proportions if Trump starts a war with them. Civilians, military, on both sides. It would be god awful.

I honestly think people pushing for this war don't know a thing about Iran....

I hope to god for my American friends and my Persian friends this does not get worse. Everyone loses.

There is no war between Iran and the USA. Iran has had a proxy war in Yemen for at least a decade.

If the USA had an issue with the Iranian General, the USA (Trump) had the responsibility to apply law, not murder.

Maybe Iran can't do anything against the USA, but maybe the Middle East can align with Russia rather than the USA. What then?

It's a sad world, isn't it, when violence against the US should go unpunished?

I love an earlier post that asks "would I be willing to lose a son or daughter...". Why not ask "Would you be willing to die for your country?" Stop armchair quarterbacking military leaders. Let terrorists continue to gain power and 9-11 will seem like a picnic at best and the US will become another Afghanistan at worst.

Why is Trump talking about Merry Christmas at an appearance while talking about this?

Fortunately, the USA is safely on the other side of the pond, but it shouldn't get too comfortable there - randomly assassinating people in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia is responsible for the Sept 11 attacks on the World Trade Towers. Everyone knows this. The USA did nothing about it after escorting them home. It's ludicrous to reference those hijack plane attacks while assassinating foreign Generals decades later.

What about America's violence against Iraq? Is it fair game for one of them to drone Dick Cheney?

Talk about a terrorist... He's high on the list.

Or does the rule only go one way?

The American Government are some of the biggest terrorists going.
