That doesn't make you a bleeding heart liberal pinko whining commie - you made your own decision to become one. With people of your thoughts in charge, all the bad guys would have to do is hide behind the innocent and they would be able to take us over at their liesure. As folks with your type twisted mentality can't seem to grasp, it's the terrorists that insist on putting innocents in harms way and they don't have any aversion to blowing up churches, mosques, restaurants, hotels, or any other places that are teeming with innocents. I hate that more innocents have to die, but the world sucks; get used to it.
I don't accept that, I'm sorry. Time and again we make stuff ups on intelligence. The whole Iraq war is a case in point. Not to mention the little fubar in Tonkin etc etc.
There are two points here...
This was a strike on a civillian compound. Not a military installation.
and two
It was a bombing in another country. How can you warp your reasoning around that? As I said in the other thread, by the same reasoning, the UK could have bombed New York for all the IRA supporters living there. South Africa could have nailed New Orleans for the ANC supporters and by the same argument, Castro should be able to nuke Florida.
You can't committ acts of violence without expecting retribution. Isn't that your entire reasoning on this? And it doesn't matter who gets killed in the retribution.
So by rights we shouldn't really complain if some Pakistani comes along and demolishes an apartment block in America because that's where US soldiers live.
There is no honour and no justice in this. It's murder. And it makes us no better than them.
