These terrorists are dug in among civilian populations, which raises serious collateral damage problems for U.S. airstrikes, in which large numbers of innocent civilians could be killed and wounded....They are Muslims, correct? What IS the downside of this? I don’t think the muzzies said “Sorry ‘Bout that” for the 3000 civilians killed on 911/01. Kill them all. Let God sort out the ‘radical Muzzies’ from the muzzies who just haven’t come up to bat yet.
“I don’t think the muzzies said ‘Sorry ‘Bout that’ for the 3000 civilians killed on 911/01. Kill them all.”
You probably know we had killed civilians in the Mid-East and elsewhere before 9/11, and had supported Israel and other states that had killed partly on our behalf. So the terrorists of 9/11 could’ve used your same logic, i.e. there weren’t any innocents, really. Our government perpetrates evil in our name, and if every Muslim, all one billion-plus if them, is guilty for the actions of evert other Muslim, be they next door or across the world, we aren’t you guilty of killing the uncounted masses of civilians killed in Iraq, Part II?
Either deliberately targeting civilians is terrorism or it isn’t. If it isn’t when we do it because we’re bigger, then we have no moral advantage. Either people who have nothing to do with murder but are somehow tied to the murderers—being fellow citizens, co-religionists, or whatever—are guilty or they aren’t. If we condemn Muslims in Indonesia, for instance, for the actions of some lawless militia somewhere in Syria and Iraq, or wherever, but excuse ourselves from complicity in the crimes of our own government, then we are hypocrites.
