Americans can debate the value of Medicare for All, racial inequities, universal income, climate change, abortion, and hundreds of other topics.

Every presidential candidate must understand the value of eradicating terrorists. The top priority of any society is protect its people.

Qassem Soleimani dedicated his life to snuffing out the lives of thousands of others. The Iranian terrorist was personally responsible for the killing of hundreds of Americans and the wounding of thousands more.

Pete Buttiegieg’s response to the debate question will be used by opponents to show that he is a weak commander-in-chief candidate. It’s disappointing that a veteran of the U.S. Army would give such a spineless reply.

Just as a surgeon removes cancer so that the rest of the body can live, a terrorist must be extracted so that the rest of society can live.
