1) On September 11th, the American embassy in Benghazi was attacked by terrorists in a battle that went on for about eight hours. American armed forces were on ships in the Mediterranean not too far away from Libya. Why did the USA not deploy some marines by helicopter to rescue our beleaguered diplomats?
2) For four years, president Obama has demanded that Israel not build what he calls "settlements" in territory that was under Jordanian control prior to 1967. The effect of that is to demand that areas of Israel's capital city of Jerusalem be kept free of Jews since construction of apartment buildings in growing neighborhoods gets described as "settlement activity". Does it make sense to continue this policy for the next four years, and, if so, why?
3) Over the last six months, China and Japan have been sparring over the ownership of small islands in the sea between them which have been ruled by Japan at least since 1895. The Chinese have sent warships to the area to emphasize their claims to the islands. If armed conflict breaks out between China and Japan, what will America do?
