re: "When "Expat" Becomes Enemy"

Robert at Atlantic Crossings ("Between the Hudson Highlands and the South of England…") noted how greatly things have changed since WW2.

Money quote(s):

"(T)his killing should come as no shock given how policy has developed in the last decade. If anything, it is just another example of those perhaps new “gray areas” to have emerged from the confused mess of the reaction to 9/11. Not only is the issue what is “an active battlefield” (especially when civil law is effectively non-existent), but more generally what precisely constitutes “war”, given that it now appears no longer nearly as easy to define as in 1917 or in 1941? Indeed, what is a “battlefield” now and what is not?: “front lines” are increasingly difficult to identity most of the time."

When your enemy is waging multidimensional warfare against you, your country, your allies, your people, and your civilization, it behooves you to respect that choice, to honor the threat. And to respond in kind.
