Yes and when you start dropping them diplomacy ends. Do you have a position on whether or not the US engages with diplomacy often and effectively enough to avoid dropping munitions on the third world? Do you have a position on Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" or Colin Powell's missing "yellowcake?" Did we find Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan? Did we win Vietnam?
