Oh, well... I guess we should have just said "You guys are on your own!" to the American diplomats kidnapped in our embassy in Tehran in 1979. After all, they knew they were in a dangerous place and that there was hostility toward westerners over there. They knew they were defenseless if those protesters outside overran the gate. Yet, they stayed put. Screw 'em!

If you are so torn up about this whole situation why don’t you go over to Saudi Arabia and protest to the king , you have as much right to do something about it as we the US does .

Not try to justify a State sanctioned murder?

Call out MSB for what he is and not trade morality for cheap oil?

Look I get this really put Trump in a tight spot and no one is surprised he took the low road, now he just needs to eat the sht sandwich he chose and own it.

Do you ever get tired of being on the wrong side of the argument?

Murder is wrong and people who commit it should be held accountable.

That's my "backwards" view.

Change my mind.

We are not the moral or legal guardians of this planet . That is how we get caught up in so many wars , when it’s none of our business . Oh it’s all good until the dictator / King tells us to go F ourselves then we decide the best way to deal with you is commit thousands of lives to the problem that started with one side trying imposing its will on another . What is this one murder worth to you ?

I agree, Trump should have just said none of our business and moved on.

But you are FOS with "trade morality for cheap oil" comment. You would be one of the first ones here condemning Trump for high gas prices had he turned off the SA oil spigot over this.

Bleeding heart liberal trying to defend his party's view of something that happened in another country by blaming Trump. Good job at failing again Liberals!

Our moral high ground or as I like to call it , sticking our nose in where it doesn’t belong has cost us thousands of American lives . Which is more important ?

That's exactly what he's doing, if this was the Sudan - we'd have the Enterprise parked off the coast to teach them a lesson on how the shining light on the hill gets down.

I would hope not. And of course if this was Sudan neither you or the press would give two *****.

So what do you propose?

The “Not this” you offered earlier doesn’t really answer the question.

I don’t see any other option other than a strongly worded rebuke which would have just been the cherry on top of the Ivanka hypocrisy that got reported today.

While disgusting, this seems like the best of a number of inappropriate responses.
