OOPs, nearly missed this response.

But other then that, we're just as bad as the terrorists. Got it.
LOL! Come on, your not losing the discussion that bad.
Did we, or did we not do what I said?

War is war. Decisions are made that fit the tactical situation. To answer your question, to some - yes we probably are.
If I'm a farmer just trying to mind my own business and not get killed by those who are fighting; and my wife is coming home from the field and steps on a land mine and it kills her. Yes, I'm probably not to concerned about why you put it there or who your intended target was.

When you get ready to set a device such as that, you weigh the risks.
There is a risk that your own people will come by an get nailed by it.
There is a risk that a civilian may come by and get nailed.
Then there is the intended target.

I like to think that we consider all the possibilities, the tactical situation, then make a rational decision based on what we hope to gain.
That is why we don't booby trap city streets. Because we are better than our enemy. You know that, and you also know that I know that.

Cordially,
GE

LOL! It's good to see that losing the argument hasn't cost you your sense of humor.

Apparently to you.

I know that. I don't think you do.
