[Vision2020] Italy sides with terrorists

[Tony]

Well Andreas, your question presumes that a nation harboring an assumed terrorist could be characterized as an ally.  We do tend to use such terms somewhat loosely as far as our relationships with Italy and Germany.

And Paul, I would question the use of the term "invasion" to describe a presence with NO HOSTILE INTENT toward the state it entered.  A presence which has as its sole intent, the apprehension and bringing to justice of a lone individual.  If another state had highly compelling evidence that a citizen or visitor in America were guilty of horrendous crimes, and we refused to subject them to prosecution, further refusing to extradite, it would ill behoove us to complain were that state to come after their tormenter themselves.

Gentleman, try to understand that you cannot defeat a sociopathic beast of an enemy by employing the tactics of a Sunday School teacher.

Later on,  -T

We have the obligation to violate the laws of our allies?

  And wouldn't the foreign power in question have the right to call the presence of foreign troops on it's soil in the midst of a kidnapping an invasion?

  We can't be prideful of our sovereignty if we don't respect that right in other nation states.
