In the sense of preparedness, sure. In the sense of groveling paralysis, no. If I hear the neighbor beating his wife, I call the cops and expect a response. Maybe his brother comes after me, maybe he doesn’t.

The former is what I meant.
As to the morality, I don’t care. I’m just hoping this is more towards the end of it than the beginning.

Can I get some proof on Hitler, I can’t find it.
And, the first trial was four months after Hitler died, the ship hasn’t even gotten back to shore. Moreover, Osama died with a gun in his hand (and likely using a woman as a shield). The guy is a known loon, he’ll stand in the middle of a fire fight and not even move. What are they going to do wait until he runs out of bullets in a militia compound? They’d still be waiting.

Don’t believe a word they say about Osama. They don’t even have a body.
