Well put Caretaker,
MT 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 33-37 / Matthew Henry
Men's language discovers what country they are of, likewise what manner of spirit they are of. The heart is the fountain, words are the streams. A troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring, must send forth muddy and unpleasant streams. Nothing but the salt of grace, cast into the spring, will heal the waters, season the speech, and purify the corrupt communication. An evil man has an evil treasure in his heart, and out of it brings forth evil things. Lusts and corruptions, dwelling and reigning in the heart, are an evil treasure, out of which the sinner brings forth bad words and actions, to dishonor God, and hurt others. Let us keep constant watch over ourselves, that we may speak words agreeable to the Christian character.
John Wesley's Bible Notes / Matthew 12:37
For by thy words (as well as thy tempers and works) thou
shalt then be either acquitted or condemned. Your words as
well as actions shall he produced in evidence for or against
you, to prove whether you was a true believer or not. And
according to that evidence you will either be acquitted or
condemned in the great day.
While I advocate that the Scriptures are very plainly against the action of a child of GOD taking the life of another human being. I do not think a child of GOD will do nothing in the face evil oppression of others, no matter who they are.
A good example in our life time, is the family of Corrie Ten Boone. They spoke clearly to the forces of Hitler as they saw what was happening. They could have remained silent and went on with their lives and have said and done nothing in response to the evil around them, but they understood the separation of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:31-46.
How do we respond to the lest of these that Y’SHUA is speaking of?

"When they came for the gypsies, I did not speak, for I am not
a gypsy. When they came for the Jews, I did not speak, because I
wasn't a Jew. When they came for the Catholics, I did not speak, for I
am not a Catholic. And when they came for me, there was no one left to
speak." -On the Wall at the Holocaust Museum in Washington
Pat Buchannon is well representative of the anti-semitic isolationist views of western Europe and the United States of pre-WWII, which enabled Hitler to arise and sustain his power. This is an enabler of evil, for all that is neccessary for evil to triumph is for men of good conscience to stand by and do nothing. Pat Buchannen represents the apostate Roman Catholic position, in his hatred of Israel.
We could have opened our borders to immigration by the Jews fleeing Hitler, but we kept them closed. England could have upheld the Balfour Declaration, but instead catered to the Islamic iniquity and kept the White Paper in effect. We could have entered WWII in 1939 and many millions would have survived. But the US followed the dogma of a Pat Buchannen and we were culpable in the deaths of millions through our isolationism.

I think Pat Buchanan said it well;
"What happened on September 11, 2001, was a direct consequence of an interventionist U.S. policy in an Islamic world where no threat to our vital interests justifies our massive involvement. We are a republic, not an empire. And until we restore the foreign policy urged upon us by our Founding Fathers--of staying out of other nations' quarrels--we shall know no end of war and no security or peace in our own homeland."

Statement Attributed to Al Qaeda Warns of More Attacks on New York, Washington
Saturday, November 16, 2002
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A correspondent for the satellite station Al-Jazeera said Saturday a possible new Al Qaeda statement he received threatened more attacks in New York and Washington unless America stops supporting Israel and converts to Islam.
The new statement was unsigned.
Yosri Fouda said he received the six-page document on Wednesday. That was a day after the TV station broadcast an audiotape purportedly made by Usama bin Laden.
Fouda, who is known for good contacts within Al Qaeda, would only say that the statement came from his sources with the group. But he insisted he was certain it came from the terrorist movement's leadership.
Fouda, speaking by telephone from London, said the statement called on Americans to stop supporting Israel and other governments that "oppress" Muslims or face more attacks. The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam, he said.
Fouda quoted the statement as saying: "Stop your support for Israel against the Palestinians, for Russians against the Chechens ... for corrupt leaders in our countries ... [and] leave us alone or expect us in Washington and New York."
He added the statement demanded U.S. troops leave the Arabian Peninsula, and justified the killings of American civilians because they pay taxes that finance military operations.
There was no immediate reaction from Washington. No officials were available for comment at the Pentagon or the National Security Council Saturday afternoon. A report on the statement as described by Fouda was carried in The Sunday Times of London.
Fouda is a prominent Arab television journalist who has broken several important stories about Al Qaeda. In September, Al-Jazeera broadcast Fouda's interviews with two top Al Qaeda operatives hiding in Pakistan, Ramzi Binalshibh and Khaled Sheik Mohammed.
Binalshibh was arrested in Karachi, Pakistan, shortly after the broadcast and was transferred to U.S. custody.
Fouda said the statement also referred to the crisis between the United States and Iraq as one more reason to attack Americans.
"You are placing Muslims under siege in Iraq, where children die every day. Oh, how weird that you don't care for 1.5 million Iraqi children who died under siege, but when 3,000 of your compatriots died, the whole world was shaken," Fouda quoted the statement as saying.
Meanwhile, a militant Islamic Web site that carries news about Al Qaeda has dismissed as lies a report that a senior member of the terror group is in U.S. custody.
U.S. officials in Washington said Friday that one of the leaders of Al Qaeda had been detained in a foreign country and handed over to U.S. authorities.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to identify the detainee, but said he was not Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden, his chief depity, his son or the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The site scoffed at the U.S. officials' refusal to name the detainee. "Maybe they fear to announce a certain name, and Al Qaeda would issue a denial so their [the U.S.] situation would become worse," it said.
