I bet terrorist are squirming at the thought of Rick Perry being the next president.

#1 I think the mere discussion as to whether or not we have "legal right" to kill terrorists is absurd. I like the whole judge/jury/executioner role all wrapped up into one package when it comes to these guys that are proven terrorists. Hell, I'm in favor of more executions domestically when it comes to to crimes that are punishable by the death penalty...under certain circumstances where guilt has been admitted or proven well beyond a reasonable doubt. When guys get sentenced to death and then it is tied up in appeals for decades while we pay for their rotten asses to sit in prison, eat 3 squares, watch tv, and find religion before we kill them 25 years later it burns me up. In certain cases, I'm in favor of building an "Express Lane" to the Electric Chair, Firing Squad, or whatever method we're using.

#2 While I certainly appreciate beyond what can be expressed in words the job of our Military...and I certainly like a President who has served...I don't see that as something that must be a requirement. The Constitution is pretty clear on who can be the President and I think that's fine. You might have the greatest President the world has ever seen being born right now in a Hospital with a physical disability that prevents them from serving in the military...doesn't mean that they shouldn't have the right to run and be elected.
