Which means that since there is no war, there can be no illegal combatants. Q: So how do we fight international terrorism directed against US citizens or interests? A: With primarily Special Forces in cooperation with the foreign governments. When there is not cooperation with foreign governments we take action in its absence and should those nations dispute our right to protect ourselves with any type of arms against US property or personnel, we declare war against those governments. In short, diplomacy is the carrot and war is the stick. That type of push-pull policy is not possible if out military is providing security for a foreign government rather than enforcing and demanding American security. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:257204 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
