Assassinating high ranking officials of countries we are not in war with opens the Pandoras Box because now our officials are also fair game.

I honestly never though the left would get this bad. Obviously it's not everyone, so I really shouldn't generalize, but damn man, you need to get your fellow liberal Democrats back in check.
Easier said than done. Unless something radically changes I'm voting for Trump in 2020 despite my extremist position as a liberal Democrat.

Do Dems have any plans to hold a vigil for the two terrorists who were killed?

I could see how the enemies of the US might think that way because they draw a moral equivalent between terrorist leaders and US officials....but that equivalence does not actually exist.


Also, I mean, they could try it. The repercussions for doing so would be severe.


Killing terrorist leaders is always fair game, if other countries have a problem with that and seek to retaliate by killing US leaders, they'll be dooming millions in their country to die for their stupidity.

With your kind of thinking, no wonder we are always targets of others hatred.

Now that is not going to happen because it is clear that
those voters in flyover country do not want to think for themselves
and find anything Trump does satisfactory cause big daddy is
looking out for them. Yes sir , the master is looking after his subjects.

Anyone notice the timing of this? Happens right before impeachment
talks are starting up again.

Reality is, Iran was going to attack whether we did this or not--Trump did what was necessary to send a message. Obama and the crew would have soft-toed this one and would have gone to the UN for more "sanctions" and to get our "allies" involved :eyesroll:
I am a liberal Democrat who fully supports the killing of that Iranian beast.

And yet our leaders including the orange dotard pander to their every wish. Saudis hate the Shiite Persians read iranians more than anyone in the world. Convenient that we are doing the Saudi’s dirty work.
