Cuba Fires Rockets on Miami!!!!

Published on July 18, 2006 By Dr Guy In Politics

Ok, they have not. But a question. Mostly for those who are quick to condemn Israel.

If Cuba did, what should be our response? Seriously. This is open to all nationalities. What should America do? Should we ignore them? Even tho a few dozen people die?

Or should we retaliate? And if so what should the retaliation be?

If A country (and Cuba is just the scapegoat as it is the closest and whackiest) decides to light up our sky with death. What should the US do.

It is a good question. And not like they dont have a history with us, right?

Okay let's say a group of radical American's (some Timothy McVeigh types) decide to shoot a rocket into Canada. Does Canada have a right to bomb our country, take out civilians, airports etc.? Does the fact that they are wackos and outside of the mainstream matter then, if they are American?

Now that would depend. If we did nothing and allowed McVeigh to continue? Yes, they would be justified. Our inaction (or inability) is not an excuse for factions within this country to cause death in another. But more importantly, Hezbelloh IS a part of the Lebanon government, so by proxy, they are waging war on Israel. It would be like if Howard dean decided to bomb Toronto, and his party did nothing to reign him in.

So they are the official Lebanese Army. They are wearing a Lebanese army uniform. They recieve a government paycheck and equipment. The government has sanctioned their every move and they have their complete support. If they recieve orders to stand down they will immediately obey. Right?

No, but check out my previous post. Their 'party' is a part of the government. And their 'party' is not doing anything to stop them.

If the United States Government did everything in their power to capture and prosecute the group of radicals, then I'd say no. But if they claimed that the group were not radicals, but instead legitimate "resistance" fighters and left it at that, then I'd say "bombs away!"....that would be if we really had any.

Exactly! Have a cookie!

That's not a valid analogy, because there is no adversarial history between the US and Canada. Israel and Lebanon (heck, the Arab Middle East) has been swearing "Death to Israel" for decades now, and they've been putting their money where their collective mouth is.

Other than movie makers like Michael Moore and Trey Parker and Matt Stone, no one has tried to start a war with Canada.
