If France thinks Nebraska has terrorist cells, Do they have the rigth to bombard?

Question

Because is the excuse of the USA goverment to bombard Somalia Isn't?

Answer 1

USA thinks it can do anything. BUT: apparently they are only attacking countries that have oil, for one or other reason.

Answer 2

There is a difference between Nebraska and Somalia. First, Somalia has been an unstable country for over 10 years resulting in war, refugees, and fundamentalism. Nebraska has not experience any of this in its history. The question alone as you stated it doesn't make sense.

Concerning if France were to have the right to bomb Nebraska, this would depend on several factors. First, is Nebraska an independent country separate from the United States? Somalia is a country (though loosely accepted as such) while Nebraska is a state within a country. Attacking Nebraska would mean with the entire United States and not just an individual state.

Let us say that Nebraska is a country of its own and that it is a terrorist controlled region which threatens France. If that were the case, and it has been proven without a doubt, then France does have the right to attack. The US attacked Somalia knowing that Islamic Fundamentalists were using the country as a location for recruitment and expansion. The attack was justified and should be accepted.

Answer 3

I understand the first part of your question, but not the second. I'm hoping that I answer your question based on what I *think* you're talking about here.

It sounds like you're asking why wouldn't we be accepting of France choosing to bomb Nebraska if they suspected a terrorist cell there, when we (the U.S.) bomb parts of Somalia after suspecting them of the same thing.

This is an answer with many parts, so pay attention here....

1. If France suspected a terrorist cell in the U.S., they would simply contact our government, alert our FBI, and expect us to handle a matter like this on our own soil. If we couldn't, then they would take it up with the United Nations.

2. We don't necessarily suspect terrorists in Somalia - we know they're there - but we are more concerned with warlords that dominate large amounts of land in that country. The Somali military is not capable of handling these warlords. It has gotten to the point where neighboring countries have tried to help. The U.S. will be one of those countries to offer the Somali government help, because the U.S. sees itself as something of a "world police force" and the enforcer of the U.N.'s decisions.

3. A lot of people don't want to see the U.S. stick its nose into world affairs anymore, but that nose was stuck out a long time ago. Now, there are people (like the government of Somalia) who expect U.S. aid when they have problems. If we were to refuse them, we would suffer even greater in the world's opinion. We would be the ones that start problems and then turn our backs on them. So we're sort of d*mned if we do and d*mned if we don't.

Finally, the notion of France bombarding anyone is just plain crazy. And why Nebraska? What would we do without all that corn?

Answer 4

If France were directly threatened (clear and present danger) by a terrorist cell in Nebraska and the USA government did nothing to remove that threat ... they would definately attack it.
The French prefer to attack and blow up softer targets, like they did to a threatening Green Peace ship in New Zealand some years ago.
Somalia was a haven for some very bad terrorists that were responsible for blowing up American Embassies across Africa ... they killed hundreds of people, mostly Africans. The American air attacks were at the invitation and approval of the duly elected Somalia government.

Answer 5

Somalia is part of France? I wasn't aware of that. Oh, the "USA goverment" doesn't need permission to "bombard" any one. The "USA goverment" has the "rigth to bombard" anyone we deem bombardable; no "excuse" necessary.

Answer 6

First of all, USA didn't just waltz into Somalia and bombed them. Somalian Government gave permission to US to proceed with the bombings since they were fed up with Islamic militia and were unable to do it themselves, so they let U.S. deal with them.

Second, if France suspected terrorist cells in the U.S., they would have to interact and cooperate with local US authorities same way US cooperated with Somalian Government.

Inform yourself better next time.

Answer 7

First of all, France doesn't have the guts to do anything. Nebraska doesn't have terror cells, they have militia's which are legal.

I am so glad that you are up to speed on US and Somali relations and policies. Thank you for telling all of us your opinion. Your question was so thought provoking, I can tell that you are a liberal. I am sure you have never served your country, or will. I can also tell that for some reason or another, you think going after terrorists is a bad thing. Yeah for you. Please intrigue us with another non-question.

nebraska does have terrorist cells. That was the birthplace of some of the more religious extremist super-patriot groups.
