Re: Asymmetrical Warfare

Foreign nationals aren't citizens and aren't entitled to the same rights. They're lucky we allowed them to live. The rights of the constitution's Bill of rights are "self evident" human rights that we as Americans believe apply to all humans, not just citizens. Nice try: the Bill of Right...
