[quote=jsteele][quote=TheManWithAUsername]This is a very interesting discussion. Thanks for starting it, Jeff, and for providing your perspective.

I think you are being a bit harsh on people. We don't have degrees in this field, and each of us only has so much time for independent research.* Personally, this story never would have gotten my attention - I'm much more concerned about the harm done millions of U.S. citizens through our economic policies.

In no way to I expect everyone to develop an expertise in the Middle East. Obviously, nobody had the capability of obtaining an expertise in every single topic area. That is why principles are so important. If you believe in fundamental elements of the US Constitution, such as an individual has the right to be tried before being convicted and must be convicted before punishment, then no knowledge of the details is necessary. I was specifically asked about my qualifications, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned them.

It is very frustrating that Americans who normally express considerable skepticism about their government -- and with the example of Saddam's missing WMDs so clearly illustrating how the government and the media can create a misleading picture -- will so easily accept Obama's right to kill a US citizen.

I want to thank the service member who posted earlier. It is no secret that the ranks of the military are filled with honorable people and that post illustrates the fact.

but it still seemed to me like you came in with a bit of a chip on your shoulder.

I have a tremendous chip on my shoulder regarding this issue. Thomas Jefferson said, "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." I, for one, will not remain silent (or move to Yemen).
