  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Now does everyone understand why the "right to refuse illegal orders" video was made?

    Agreed. But tell me, what is the intent of drug cartels? Is it to: (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping...

    Dear Pete Hegseth, I’m Grateful the Japanese Navy Spared My Grandfather’s Life

    We are not at war with Venezuela. Neither Venezuela nor the drug traffickers have launched an attacked the United States. Drug traffickers are not terrorist according to U.S. law. There is no legal basis for summarily killing people because the US suspects they are drug trackers.

    Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

    Trump punts to Pete (or is he throwing his war secretary under the congressional bus?) Will Hegseth release the video? President Donald Trump on Monday said he will let Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth decide whether to release the full video of a controversial military strike on alleged drug...

    Now does everyone understand why the "right to refuse illegal orders" video was made?

    Terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. What political objective do drug traffickers have? I submit none.

    They are not terrorist. You can cite the White House all day but that doesn't change the fact that we have never defined drug traffickers as terrorsist.

    Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

    Attacking drug mules is going to be more effective than "conventional methods"? How do you figure that attacking panga boats and killing all the occupants is more effective than interdicting, interogating and prosecuting higher value targets?

    Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

    As it turns out, the boat wasn't even traveling toward the U.S. [for the geography challenged, Suriname is located East of Venezuela]. The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for...

    Oh look! The U.S. Coast Guard interdicts and arrest drug runners. Of course Trump could ramp up such operations....and carry out a legal interdiction operations with the support of the U.S. Navy. Why didn't he? The Coast Guard cutter Munro seized more than 20,000 pounds of cocaine in a...

    No, I won't humor your narrow and uninformed views any further. Go live your life blaming others.

    Minnesota is drowning in fraud.

    Yes, it was a typo. I am not familiar with Somali culture so I googled: "Family is extremely important in the Somali community. The focus of Somali culture is on the family; family is more important than the individual in all aspects of life. Somalis will live with their parents until they...
