I didn't say it wasn't a tragedy; I said, feel compassion for them, as you kill the one hiding behind them, even if it means they, too, die.
I did not at any time say bomb them all, nor to kill them all.
Only the idealistically young and stupid, however chose "morality" over survival.
Explain HOW you are going to "root them out and kill them" without things like this happening...assuming it really happened as presented.
They can hide behind the women and kids all they want, as long as they aren't shooting; when that changes, the bets are off.
You do the best you can. What else can I say?
You don't intentionally target civilians. The Israelis don't do it, we won't do it, the Russians won't do it. Only the terrorists will. To do anything like that you risk becoming them.
I can tell you that the Israeli pilot who dropped the bomb is having a hell of a time right now.
