If they are proven to be a danger to the citizens of the united states, then why wait for people to die before taking action?

 @9FRNDPDWorkers from Michigan  agreed…3yrs3Y

if we just go assassinate any and all suspected terrorists, we will find ourselves in a problem of eventually killing an innocent civilian.

 @9FQ2P9WRepublican from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

We all have natural rights and everyone is human and we shouldn't change the rules of our country for one person.

 @9GL8292 from Georgia  agreed…3yrs3Y

Your life is something that should never be threatened, regardless of whether or not you are a US citizen. If we are granted life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then others around the world should too.

 @9GDKDTNCommunist from Washington  agreed…3yrs3Y

We cannot intervene in any foreign nation. Only peace and development for the world, not war and murder.

 @9GRCHDQ from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

During the attack at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999, police could only surrounded the building and didn't go inside. Students were inside with no help or aid and this should be prevented in the future.

 @9GMN3LV from North Carolina  agreed…3yrs3Y

I would like someone to be proven a terrorist, not suspected, before assassination. Innocent until proven guilty is the foundation of our justice system.

 @9GP4ZHFPeace and Freedom from Illinois  agreed…3yrs3Y

It should be illegal to murder someone who is suspected of foreign assassination and should be over all illegal to murder someone because your taking someones life for an in the moment choice. Instead just make them serve a long time in jail, if you think about it hurting your child will do nothing but make them turn more bad but putting them in time out will help them think about their bad choices.

 @9GC8FXR from Georgia  agreed…3yrs3Y

many people are craeting fake documents and possibly incrimination photos of different people and celebrities.

 @9GBC7DRDemocrat from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

Foreign assaination in the country have only led to problem,you get rid of one but there always another no matter what.

 @9LYFNQB from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Assassinations of known criminals and possibly dangerous people would benefit many people being tormented under them

 @9FJ9NCFRepublican from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

Assassination of suspected terrorists should only take place preceding a fair and just trial within the united states. This is what is due to humans and is found within our constitution

 @9FJ86BR from Rhode Island  agreed…3yrs3Y

the government can use the terrorist assassination to assasinate someone who isnt a terrorist, but simply doesnt go by there ideals

 @9FJ697LPeace and Freedom from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

If you vote no, then you agree that you would not like to start any conflicts with foreign countries or states.

 @9FFHB8VLibertarian from Colorado  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Terrorist attack not only the U.S. but our allies, look at Afghanistan, we were there to help those people maintain their country and once we left the Taliban A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION TOOK OVER. We must help our fellow allies not destroy them.

 @9FQW25DRepublicanfrom Guam  agreed…3yrs3Y

If we say no to foreign assassination, it’s because we don’t want the US to get in a war with any country.

 @98T99QD from West Virginia  disagreed…3yrs3Y

the west isn’t the police of the world.

 @9G2763Jfrom Maine  agreed…3yrs3Y

You should kill no one, even if that person killed someone you love. A good revenge would be that they are locked up, and not killed. Otherwise they will not feel guilty and can't feel guilty.

 @9G4TGYNagreed…3yrs3Y

We should not go for foreign assassination, because we might kill foreigners who have no criminal records, be part of a dangerous organization, or more. Meaning if we killed a innocent or member of a dangerous organization, we will end up in bad situations.

 @9FY47NJ from Massachusetts  agreed…3yrs3Y

Was Castro ever *really* a threat to the US? Really? Enough that we tried to assassinate him over 600 times? Get **** ing real. If Cuba ever tried to invade the US they would be crushed, Castro was never a real threat on his own. We wanted a vassal state to exploit.

 @9FWLRCL from Washington  agreed…3yrs3Y

there are numerous examples of the US killing foreign leaders in the name of "suppressing terrorism"

 @9GK2JZP from New York  agreed…3yrs3Y

Some opponents of free college argue that the government shouldn't be subsidizing people's degrees in majors that aren't likely to lead to a good job

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
