Peacenik Dennis Kucinich
So the Democrats held their second presidential debate in New Hampshire on Sunday night, and one of the questions posed by CNN's Wolf Blitzer dealt with Osama bin Laden.
He asked Rep. Dennis Kucinich if he would give the order to kill Osama bin Laden if the chance arose.
Being a peacenik, he said the president should not attempt any assassinations, and that Osama should instead be captured and tried in an international court for his actions.
Why should Osama bin Laden be tried in an international court? He is not a leader of any country. His organisation is recognised as a terrorist entity causing death and destruction to any country who opposed his radical views.
Frankly, if I knew Osama was living in a cave somewhere in the Afghan desert. Nuke it. Just nuke the place.
And if Dennis Kucinich wants to hold people accountable for violating international law, how about North Korea's Kim Jong-Il or Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Since both would refuse any attempt to be tried in an international court, will Kucinich just back down in order to keep the peace appeasement alive? Or actually take action? But then again, I would not expect military action from him. I would imagine him sending an envoy and say "Go to court or else!" They will call his bluff and he will back down.
Please get off the milk crate.

The Kooch believes in the myth of international law. There is no international law without international police, and no police without guns. Governance requires violence, and is therefore incompatible with Kucinich's pacifism. Violence is even necessary to fund Kucinich's "Department of Peace".
If you really want peace, vote for Ron Paul.

Ahh yes, his Department of Peace... I bet he can use British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain as a prime example of using appeasement to placate the enemy.
