Question
What do you do if the ISIS terrorist is an American Citizen whose American family has due process protection under the United States Constitution? Do they get a trial or do you have a Washington bureaucrat slaughter the parents, aunts, uncles and babies of the terrorist?
Answer
We know that Republicans would typically destroy the Constitution in a situation like this (because they tend to opt for the false illusion of safety over the principals of freedom, especially when those principals are inconvenient).
Question
What do you do with Saudi Arabia, the home of the 9/11 terrorists? Should we stop funding the radical Saudi regime, as Carter recommended? Should we conduct an inquiry into why Bush flew prominent Saudis (including members of the Bin Laden family) out of the country after 9/11? What happens to a Republican president who protects those families by flying them out of the country? Should he face a Grand Jury?
Answer
Republicans who listen to talk radio and support Trump don't know that we've been funding the Saudis heavily for close to 50 ******* years, and they don't know that this funding and weaponization went into overdrive under Reagan. They simply don't understand the region, which is why they are vulnerable to crass orange haired baboons who call for the bombing of evil doers (but give no specific plans for creating a stable middle east). The Trumpians and Cruzies know nothing about all the groups fighting in Syria, and they don't realize that Trump and Cruz are not going to carpet bomb embedded terrorists living in heavily civilian areas with hundreds of thousands of innocent people. If they demolished whole civilian populations - if they made of a blood bath of innocent babies and non-combatants - the terrorist blowback would haunt generations of Americans, and the scale of the human tragedy would end our moral credibility and make it impossible to form working coalitions with much needed allies (which is necessary to solve the problem of global terrorism)
We haven't heard any real solutions, just more tough-talking-applause-lines from the people who failed to defend the eastern seaboard on September 11, 2001. Remember those people? I'm talking about the people whose execution of national security principals was so corrupt that they launched a war against a country who had nothing to do with 9/11 - and they did it with a degree of incompetence and mismanagement that should exclude any future claims to the presidency. But sure, lets trust the same voters and their leaders to fix the problem they created.
God help us.
