RE: War Crimes at Sea: A Personal and Historical Perspective

I came along and vented.

By all means vent. It gives me heart that people feel strongly about this. You are not trying to persuade me. You know I agree. I was trying to present an argument in a way so that even people who don't agree with me, will stop and wonder. I was trying to make questioning the policy unavoidable, no matter where the reader stands on the merits of this administration.

It's easy to talk to people who agree. My husband and I do that all the time about what is going on. It's a great comfort. But I'm trying to reach beyond people who agree with me.

Sometimes an issue presents itself with such clarity that it offers an opportunity to highlight a moral wrong. I think this is the case with blowing two survivors out of the water. We may even get to see the video. Imagine that.

The law is clear. I wanted to carefully make the case that the law is clear. No getting around that.

Trump is but the latest in a long line of presidents who have asserted and exercised the right to arbitrarily and unilaterally order the deaths of people around the globe.

I agree. It's just that these people are so stupid and inept, they make their crimes so obvious. It's low hanging fruit. How could I resist? I just wanted the law to be clear to any reasonable person reading my blog.
