19. I'm not optimistic that your scenario would occur...
I wish it were true, but...

Obama doesn't seem to mind approving the assassination of individuals, US citizens or not, without benefit of due process. I do believe rendition and torture is still occurring under the present administration. Pres. Obama said, "We don't torture." Nothing about sending individuals to some other country to be tortured. More baffle-gab.

"Australia would be forced to demand..." Yeah, right! As if the Australian govt. isn't also a wholly owned subsidiary of the US rogue state.

The rule of law doesn't operate in the US anymore. Quite ironic, given that our president is a constitutional scholar. Future generations will probably find that an interesting footnote to history.
