3. A rose by any other name. There was no need for all of the bombing strikes

if we were "only protecting FBI agents". It was a massive military incursion into another nation in this hemisphere by the United States on a scale not seen in many, many decades. It was a criminal act and just because we indict someone does not give us license to go into other countries with jets and bomb all kinds of targets and go in with troops to arrest a duly elected head of that country. If that is the allowable and justifiable international standard then Israel should be invaded immediately and those indicted for war crimes should be seized. Likewise for several other countries around the world.

Painting this as a law enforcement matter is pure bullshit.
