From an article about the death of Hezbollah chieftain Imad Mugniyah who was responsible for the 1983 bombing of a US Embassy in Lebanon.

Lebanese officials, exploiting a monitored telephone call, traced Mughniyah to Paris in 1985, only five months after the hijacking of a TWA jetliner, to which he had been linked. He was staying at the Hotel de Crillon, a luxurious hotel across the street from the U.S. Embassy. Tipped off by the Lebanese, U.S. officials asked French police to arrest him and turn him over. Instead, as previously reported in The Washington Post, French agents met with him several times over a six-day period, according to a source closely involved, and worked out an agreement to release him in return for the freedom of a French hostage.

That’s right.  US forces wouldn’t even cross the street to capture a notorious terrorist wanted for the murder of 60 Americans.  Do we want to go back to that era?

Because that’s where the Democrats want us to be.
