“That may be so...but I would ask; Would you, as a sitting President, regardless of family ties, permit a country’s government to attempt an assassination on a US citizen, let alone, a former US President?”
You’re kidding right? This is normal stuff, there are always this kind of stuff going on and we do it our selves. So was it worth it? And who really cares what kind of weapons Saddam has, we didn’t lift a finger when 500,000 in Rwanda were slaughtered did we? You’re problem is that you think that the US should be the worlds policeman (only selectively on those that really deserve it). Are you willing to spend peoples lives for that and trillions of dollars that we don’t have? And for what so that we can leave and watch it all go to hell any way? And in fact is worse now than when Saddam was in power.
Rwandans aren’t US citizens...so the rest of your post or point is moot.
