Yeah, it was a disgusting display. Dennis Kucinich is a nutcase. He was asked a hypothetical that if he had information on the exact whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and had 20 minutes to take him out and it would cause a small amount of civilian casualties, would he decide to launch a missile to destroy him. He responded "no" because he doesn't believe in "assassinations" and he thinks some garbage about it just coming back to make America less safe. That's always how the liberals justify their pro-peace ideologies. They say that if you do things like assassinate bin Laden, American leaders will be assassinated in response. What they don't know is that they already WANT to destroy Americans regardless of anything that we do. They completely fail to understand the mentality of Islam. They'd probably say that the islamic scum who were planning to bomb Kennedy Intl Airport were oppressed and victimized because of islamophobia and racism and that they just wanted to get revenge for their mistreatment. Foreign policy was barely even discussed at all, which is typical to Democrats. They discussed Darfur more than they talked about the safety of Americans and Western civilization. A few of them made comments about protecting American civil liberties and didn't mention anything about protecting America or stopping terrorism. When Dennis Kucinich was asked about whether the Patriot Act proved its worth because it stopped possible terror attacks like the one recently at Kennedy Airport, he reponded "no." They also mentioned many times that America needs to prove its "morality" by getting rid of Guantanamo and they actually think that America's enemies cares about the "morality" of the U.S. They think that if the U.S. cuts down their military, engages only in diplomacy and not in war at all and makes efforts to increase the moral credibility of America in the world, our enemies will just bow down before us and start kissing our butts! The funniest comment from one of the loony liberal whackjobs was ,in regards to Pakistanan, the need to rectify the "contradiction" of working with countries to stop terrorism and supporting "liberal democracies". Basically he was implying that we should support a "liberal democracy" in Pakistan because Musharraf had military rule over the country. He wants fundamentalist Islamists to rule Pakistan that has a nuclear weapon!! I mean these people are completely insane!
Also, Israel was not mentioned once. In the first Republican debate, it was a direct issue, and most of the candidates said directly and unequivocally that if Israel was threatened by a nuclear Iran, they would use military force to protect Israel.
