Maduro

As usual, David Warren sums up feelings on the matter:

Gentle reader does not need me to provide reporting on the glorious Trumpian capture of Venezuela’s chief socialist drug lord; or the bombings of Muslim terrorists in Nigeria; or the next intervention in Iran by the United States and (blesséd) Israel. All were, are, or will be acts of self-defence by civilization and the West, and I certainly subscribe to Mahatma Gandhi’s principle of justifiable defensive violence. One should not be a coward when attacked (and will be attacked less frequently if one has established this reputation). Then if, like the overwhelming majority of people, one has not the discipline or patience to stand still while being murdered, nevertheless, one should not run away. It is important to defend oneself in “kill or be killed” situations, and when possible bring each to a victorious conclusion. Gandhi was not a wus.
