Again it is dicta and not law. He is free to his opinion which in the issue here IMO he is no better informed than I. However, he is talking about small scale incursions by terrorists and not a conquering large scale invasion from another nation state which is what I thought MP was talking about. In the case of a terrorist the issue is self defense as would apply to a citizen not repelling a foreign army which would be opposed by our own.
