What will you do, what proof do you need before you take action?

I am not a president, am i? Nor do i intend to become one.
But lets pick up your words.
"

Are you prepared to order an invasion of a sovereign nation, just because the local police is sitting on their asses? What makes you think its that easy to arrest these men? The US has 50.000 men in Afghanistan, and they still havenīt arrested shit!! And how about the terrorists that were living in the US before 9/11? Do you think the US should invade itself? Or maybe Spain, or Germany, and France? Would you order such an operation? It seems to me that you have double standards. If the country in question is a strong western nation, you resort to diplomacy. But if itīs a poor third world nation, you send in the troops! How hypocritical is that?
There canīt be any double standards at all, if you want it to work.
If you want to prevent your country being attacked, the best you can do and should do is prevent them from entering your country.
Iīm going to give you a real world example, to show you just how irrational your solution is:
Acording to you, any nation who fails to capture terrorists, is open to invasion by the victimized nation, right?
So, does that mean you think Great Britain should invade New York and Boston, looking for IRA terrorists? I mean, the US has failed to arrest them, many irish IRA operatives live in the US, free of any charge, after conducting bombings across Britain, so i take it you would agree if the brits came crashing down on your home town, isnīt that right?
Things cannot and are not, all black and white. That "you are either with us or against us" mentality belongs in the Lalá land, not the real world.
A real politician knows it canīt be done.
