Not at all. I'm tired of this "do as I say, not as I do" additude that our government has. If we do it, then it's ok for everyone to do it. There is not one set of rules for the United States and then another set for everyone else.
Everyone has a right to their opinion. Some (like Wagner) think it's ok for a country to attack inside another country's borders to kill a terrorist. Others, like me, think that it's not ok. But it is either ok, or it's not. None of this "it's ok for us, but not other countries".
And this idea that when we allow terrorists to live here it's ok, but when they do it they are sponsors of terror. Do you not see that it's the same?
In my example above, click on the links there to read about those guys, because I'm sure if you don't read about them, then you will have no idea. But during the 1960s, there were bombings of civilian targets in Miami every few months, and there were a number of planes, some American, hijacked by these Cuban terrorist groups, and one plane even blown up. Those two guys have not only admitted to being involved in those plots, but they have bragged about it. They have also said their organizations were being funded by the CIA when they did those things, which fully explains why our government has refused to extradite these guys over to the many Latin American countries where they are wanted on murder and conspiracy charges. What is your definition of "state sponsor of terror"?
But then our government has the nerve to demand that other countries turn over terror suspects like Osama bin Laden. Do you no see the irony in that? Yes, it is indeed the same. If you want to be a positive force in the international community, then you don't spit on your neighbors and then expect them to not spit back. For far too long our leaders have been doing just that, and it's time for a change.
