plenty of "bad hombres" to go around,but if that is the impetus,it is an incredibly weak one.
and it has been used,successfully I might add,to excuse some of this biggest blunders of past administrations.none of these actions have made us safer,or prevented war,or destructive military excursions.
in fact,they have created the exact opposite effect.
and I will also add,that the utilization of the "bad dude" justification,ignores America's penchant for supporting dictatorial "bad dudes" across the globe,but in those cases,WE installed them or help fascillitate their rise to power and we,as a nation,are perfectly fine with THOSE "bad dudes".
our selective hypocrisy is quite blatant,and repugnant.
