The Yemen attack violates basic rules of sovereignty. It is an act of war where no war has been declared. It killed people, some of whom who may have been criminals, but who will never now face trial.

First, it is not an act of war against Yemen if Yemen is OK with it.

Second, we are legally at war with al Qaeda and its allies: 1) because they attacked us. 2) because of the Sept 2001 Congressional Resolution; and 3) because of actual combat in several countries with Muslim populations, most notably Afghanistan and the Phillippines.

Third, soldiers are shot in wars, often from too far away to check papers and ask for weapon-surrender. This is of course always true when airplanes shoot at surface targets (and vice versa).

So where next for the drones of death?

Saddam Huessein, his sons, his Generals and his top toadies know where next.

Unless these people live 24/7 in bunkers like the "Mole People" and don't visit their troops or be seen by their people; they will be driving down a deserted road one moment and the next moment be picking out swatches for the mansions in paradise.

European leftists will not be happy until America is an Islamic Republic.
