@9FGWF671yr1Y
No, they should be captured and given fair trial. Also, since when has Sweden been assassinating suspected terrorists? I thought that was an American thing.
@95BY28D2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they have committed an attack on other country and are planning to attack our country
@95BBQ6L2yrs2Y
@952R2DS2yrs2Y
I do not think that more killing will stop the killing. We should do all we can to prevent terrorist acts and hold accountable in the courts those that we can catch. There is a fairly good international system that works to this end and I believe that Sweden should be cautious in its approach to terrorism and terrorists.
Yes, but only if arrest is not possible
@MahantP4yrs4Y
yes but only if they are planning to attack or have attacked our country, and even then they should be imprisoned and dealt with
@98GH5352yrs2Y
Only if there is undeniable evidence they have committed or planning an attack against our country. Alternatively they could capture, interrogate, and imprison them instead.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only for those who have or were about to attack our nation.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, our country should stay out of other countries' businesses. Abolish foreign policy.
@8Z4TVW33yrs3Y
why do we care? if they're in other countries then we should just make sure they don't come here
@8MNYGHJ4yrs4Y
it is not the job of the us to deal with terrorism problems in other countrys
@8JXJYQK4yrs4Y
Not unless they pose a real threat
@ForWheelen3yrs3Y
Yes because I view that as a military operation therefore due process would not apply. However there must be some compelling evidence
Deleted3yrs3Y
Only those that have killed/attacked our nation.
@8N9ZDD84yrs4Y
They should be proven first.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only if they have or are actively planning an attack on us.
@8VGRKHN3yrs3Y
Only God can determine that. but if the goverment decides to do it than so be it. but I will not judge.
@9299B9H3yrs3Y
No captured and interrogated and decided punishment based on what they have done
@MSelvig3yrs3Y
Each situation is different, and I cannot give a blanket answer on this question.
@8M2GGGL4yrs4Y
Depends on what crimes they’ve committed
@9334YP33yrs3Y
The United States should not, but her citizens may.
@92X5HLD2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack our country or have committed an attack against it
@8YYBYBH3yrs3Y
No, because it could be someone innocent, maybe ask them questions and report but don't kill them on sight that would only make a bigger mess.
@93T2Z952yrs2Y
No, foreign affairs involvement that does not directly work in the interests of the American people is not a responsibility of the United States government.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but the option of capturat
@8LX2ZNJ4yrs4Y
Only if it a true enemy to the United States and U.S civilians are in danger.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they have or are planning an attack on our nation.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they have or are planning an attack on us.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No; this is simply unnecessary interventionism, but seek approval from the nation's government before launching any missile or drone strike.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only if they have attacked us
Deleted4yrs4Y
If they have or are planning an attack on our country.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they have or are planning on attacking the United States.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only if they have or are planning an attack on us.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only if they have attacked our nation first.
@8TP6QKS3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by means of private contractors
Deleted3yrs3Y

Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, if they have attacked us first.
@8CRB6DL4yrs4Y
We shouldn't interfere in other countries' business.
@8FCGXJV4yrs4Y
It depends on the situation but yes because for example like 9/11 they should of killed the nine men to save the thousands of people that died but I also think that if you can just capture them put them on trial and imprison them until they aren’t gulity.
Deleted4yrs4Y
If Congress declares war all enemy combatants are valid targets.
@3PJB4CP4yrs4Y
They should not be assassinated without undeniable evidence that they did attack our country. However, if there is evidence that indicates the suspects are planning an attack, then they should be given a fair trial with due process.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only if they have attacked or are planning an attack on our country.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, the United States should not assassinate any suspected terrorist without concrete, undeniable evidence that they have/are planning to attack our nation. Also, once such evidence were to manifest itself then we should obtain both congressional approval along with approval from that sovereign state to enter their country to capture and give them a fair trial instead.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, we should not assassinate any "suspected" terrorist without concrete, undeniable evidence. Also, once such evidence were to manifest itself then we should obtain both Congressional approval along with approval from that sovereign state to enter their country to capture and give them a fair trial instead.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, we should not assassinate any suspected terrorist without concrete, undeniable evidence.

@8Q5XRCN4yrs4Y
yes, but only if it is too dangerous to capture and "interrogate" them.
@JustinTStevens4yrs4Y
No in theory, but if capturing them safely puts people at risk, then assassination attempts should be valid.
@z28wanted4yrs4Y
Yes, only with the cooperation and support of said country.
@8Q9MVKX3yrs3Y
yes, only because you done know if they will attack us or not and if they do we need to be ready
@8HHLPTF4yrs4Y
Yes, only if they know he is a terrorist
@8QNKSKF4yrs4Y
Not assassinate but if there is evidence then yes
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, if they have or are planning an attack on us.
@8WNZXJ43yrs3Y
No, they should be obtained, interrogated, and if found guilty then punish them with a prison sentence. Only however, if there is suffice evidence to obtain them and against them.
@8FL65YL4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they are a threat to the world; global threat.

@8DD853J4yrs4Y
No, I think that they should be captured and interrogated. I do not think that you should take someone's life without an overwhelming amount of evidence that they are planning a terrorist attack.
@8RBQDDP3yrs3Y
Yes, if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack our country, and if diplomatic options are not available, and if it is necessary to benefit, further and secure our interests
@8P6PWZP4yrs4Y
No, the government has absolutely no right to intervene in foreign conflicts.
@8XNVQ8R3yrs3Y
Yes, But only if there is undeniable evidence they are planning or have committed an attack against our country
@8LZWFT24yrs4Y
They have to have eve dance
@925J4Q83yrs3Y
Depends on if they have attacked, or if we just have pure evidence that they will
@8TV3H943yrs3Y
No, you can't kill on suspicion
@8WB33GS3yrs3Y
yes, only after they've been captured, imprisoned, and interrogated. after that, if there is undeniable evidence that they have committed an attack against the country, they should be given the death penalty.
@8TQHNB43yrs3Y
if there is undeniable evidence that they are planning to attack our country or have committed an attack against our country
@8SF6R494yrs4Y
I don't have an opinion on the issue. It depends.
@8CY5LN54yrs4Y
Yes, if there is undeniable evidence that they have committed or are planning to commit an attack against our country.
@8GM326G4yrs4Y
If there is undeniable evidence that they're planning an attack or have already attacked our country, then yes. However, we should take them as prisoners as much as possible and give them a fair trial.
@8WRL5Q93yrs3Y
With enough evidence provided, yes.
@8L5BRL24yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they’re a threat to multiple countries.
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, they should be instead captured, (humanly) interrogated, given a fair trial, and imprisoned instead because assassinating suspected terrorists can pose a real Public Relations problem for us, whether they are guilty OR NOT.
@8X58PYF3yrs3Y
yes but they should arrest them when possible
@8HX837R4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence that they have either attacked or are planning to attack our country.
@8P28PK84yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there is evidence they are planning a attack and/or have committed a attack on our country
@8TD78PC3yrs3Y
i dont understand the question so my response is idk
@8G6B4774yrs4Y
No. They should be imprisoned if there is undeniable evidence that they are planning to attack our country.
@8ZGPKM93yrs3Y
yes only if they are authorized as some against and a risk to the USA
@8WKT3PP3yrs3Y
No, Suspects should only be assassinated if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack the country, and it should be the last resort if they can't be captured or given a fair trial.
@8NVQ3B64yrs4Y
If there is undeniable evidence we should interrogate them and then imprison them if they truly are a terrorist.
@8WCTWT23yrs3Y
Yes, as long as there is undeniable evidence that they did or are planning an attack on our country and asking for permission from the country and depending on the severity of the attack ignore their answer and just notify them that you are going with or without there permission.
@BaylorBlum4yrs4Y
They should not be able to assassinate people but they should be able to put them under arrest and prosecute them.
@dylanziehme3yrs3Y
No, suspects should be captured if necessary and possible. If there is an imminent threat, the DoD should have to get an emergency warrant from a federal judge to ensure they meet the burden of proof.
@8Q8RMZF4yrs4Y
NO! I do not agree with killing people no mater what they have done! I believe they should use them to catch other terrorists and get information out of them and then either send send them back or imprison them but NOT KILL A PERSON!!! EVEN THOUGH THEY DO IT ANYWAYS!!!
@8FJMJ684yrs4Y
Let their home country deal with it
