Reader comment on item: Thoughts on the Killing of Osama bin Laden
in response to reader comment: Lets Make A Couple of Things Clear
Submitted by Virginia Gentleman (United States), May 4, 2011 at 08:41
The Bush Doctrine, outlined by Bush II in the days after 9/11/01 may be paraphrased as follows: "harboring terrorists who make war on the United States and its interests voids your nation's sovereignty. We'll come after them."
