Comments on: Law Enforcement or War? http://poliblogger.com/?p=3202 A rough draft of my thoughts... en Fri, 14 Jan 2024 23:56:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.2.1 by: Hal http://poliblogger.com/?p=3202#comments Tue, 30 Mar 2024 10:36:05 -0500 12493:3202@http://poliblogger.com Waw? This is demonstratably false. Look at the actions against the Mob. They didn’t wait for things to happen. They actively went out and turned over every rock and stone looking for them. They invented new laws (RICO, etc) to compensate for the limitations of those that were on the books. This is a complete fantasy of you on the Right. The glaring facts speak otherwise. Waw?

For one thing, al Qaeda isn’t working primarily in the US. Further, the mob wasn’t going to indiscriminately blow up hundreds, if not thousands of people. Terrorism is far more than an organized crime situation. And, I would note, that when legislation like that the Patriot Act is passed to try and combat domestic operations, then the cries of civil liberties’ violations commences. And Hal, calling something a fantasy and then stating that the “facts speak for themselves” is not an argument. Rather, they are two unsupported statements. Even you have argued that the war in Afghanistan was necessary (if memory serves). Contrast the invasion of Afghanistan to the Clinton administration’s policies, for example.
