  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

I am starting to get worried about reaching my 60s. I don't want to become a cold blooded killer.
Nah. I’m 65 and still without killing anyone.

You could try becoming a hot-blooded killer instead.

Frankly the Commander in Chief does have authority to order these individual attacks such as taking out the vessels. We have been doing it for several years...the Iranian takeout, the takeout of Hutsis attacking vessels in the Red Sea area, the Somali pirates, the taking out of Bin Laden, & the use of drones that have taken out a number of these terrorist leaders.
All of these are legitimate military targets, not some randoms in a boat in the Caribbean. The fear some have with just labeling them terrorists and summarily killing them without trial is that this will eventually be expanded to other targets of this administration. If we accept they don’t need to make a case against these suspected terrorists then they won’t need to make a case against any suspected terrorists. Just the label and accusation alone is enough to warrant lethal force.

These are not ordinary criminals.
Even the top Nazis were put on trial. How are these random fishermen in South America so much worse?

You cannot negotiate with Satan. These thugs for too many centuries have walked in darkness. Humanity's efforts to lighten their hearts or rehab them is absurd. You cannot rehab Satan or his apostates.
These are people, not demons. Just an arrest and trial is all that’s needed to put them away for a very long time. They don’t have magic powers, you know.

These are not random fishermen. I don’t think fishermen use speed boats. They are drug traffickers that cause havoc with our youth and people in general.

Most of the people actually in the boats are just poor fisherman trying to make living with a side job (as opposed to the masterminds behind the scheme). But, regardless, does that really change the argument?

It doesn’t.

After the war the ones that escaped and were captured were put on trial. During the war most top nazi’s were either killed or took their own lives.
