"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm sure glad our police don't employ this mentality.

Fortunately, for all of us, they generally employ a common sense approach which requires the validation of a threat before using deadly force."

When a police officer has a gun aimed at him, I'm sure he doesn't stop to ask the gunmen "can I help you." Of course the police officer has to use common sense. If the police officer hesitates, we might read about his funeral in the newspaper. Self-preservation is a legitimate reason to shoot your assailant first.

Makes sense to me but how do you validate the threat from a cloaked suicide bomber who doesn't care if they die! By the time you discover the threat its too late!

"The more we meddle in Islamic countries internal affairs the more we run the risk of retaliation, as our own intelligence agencies confirm"

And what is this "theory" is wrong? I value opposing opinions but, not all opinions are correct. People choose to support what they believe. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong.

You may be right. Then again, you may be wrong. Sort of reminds me of the expression, "shoot first and ask questions later."

You may be right. Then again, you may be wrong. Sort of reminds me of the expression, "shoot first and ask questions later." Another great expression is "trust but verify." Unfortunately, none of us know for certain what future attacks in America may take place.

No Iraqis attacked us before the invasion. The more we meddle in Islamic countries internal affairs the more we run the risk of retaliation, as our own intelligence agencies confirm.

As I've asked you on several occasions didntinhale, for your combat service and you never respond, could it be that you are a man who's never faced the enemy but call one who has a coward?

Big "hero".

Like many other theories, this one did not come to pass.
