I have no problem with action...when its warranted against other countries/enemies...I just dont buy the 'sacrifice personal liberty for security doctrine' that seems to be part of the Bush doctrine...or accompanies it.
I favor a "mind your own business and carry a big stick" policy, if you go to war with an enemy you should seek to uttery destroy them more like Hiroshima, not waste lives and money as in the examples of Viet Nam and Iraq.
