Even some Members of Congress have criticized the attack and lawmakers put limits on the president’s use of military force:
That was a stupid needless thing to do. Obviously the boat could not have been transporting drugs or anything else to the USA. It was also expensive, $100,000 minimum for the missile.
Back in the 1500s and 1600s when pirates were caught in the Caribbean and Atlantic they were bound in chains and sent back to London, or Madrid, or Paris for trial. If guilty, most were tortured to death, or hung, and their bodies exposed in gruesome ways. A few received lesser sentences. A few were found innocent for various reasons and freed.
The monarchs who tried and executed them routinely dealt out tortures and death. But I find it telling they went to the trouble and expense of trying pirates and bandits, and in doing so occasionally found reason for lighter sentences and mercy.They could have slaughtered everyone on the spot, but their old-fashioned sense of justice prevented it.
We Christians in the enlightened 21st century just kill everyone.
