No. There are lines that must be drawn. There are laws that must be obeyed. If you don't like the laws, get them changed.
By your argument that "a country should use whatever means necessary to protect its borders and its people, and that unconventional measures may be called for" why don't we just nuke Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan? North Korea, also while we're at it. I agree that Islamic Fundamentalism is a threat to the US and it's people. Let's get rid of the problem once and for all. North Korea might sell nukes to these guys... get rid of them, too. Oh... You know China is a real economic threat to our way of life. We owe them lots of money. They're going to increasingly compete with us for resources. And if there weren't all those billions of Chinese, maybe we could put off the day of reckoning on CO2 emissions a little longer as well. We ought to put China on the list as well. I think we've probably got enough nukes to get the whole list accomplished in a matter of a few days. Whaddya think?
