Unfortunately, jihadis like to hide amongst civilians.
Yeah, I’m beginning to think:
1. There will be collateral damage (civilians) if we attack ISIS.
2. But there will also be LOTS of collateral damage (civilians) WHEN they attack the U.S.
THEREFORE if we believe it’s a CERTAINTY that we will suffer large civilian casualties in the future by attacks on ISIS, then why not do preemptive attacks on them that unfortunately will cause civilian deaths too, but if there are going to be civilian deaths, why not make it THEIR civilians rather than our civilians?
Interesting philosophical question...
