“The targets were killed because they’re terrorists.

The way you stop terrorists from finding a safe place to hide is to harm or kill those providing safe haven and protection to the terrorists.

This is how the U.S. has always dealt with pirates. It is appropriate for us to deal with terrorists in the same manner.

Does anyone have a problem with this?”

Evidently, a fair number of forum members have qualms.

First, win the war. Then, worry about morality.

Anybody who believes it’s more important to be moral, than to win, has it backwards.

If we don’t win the war, it doesn’t matter if we’ve been moral or not. Because we won’t survive long enough to be moral, or immoral, or anything.

You’re kind is winning the war alright. You have the Constitutional Republic on its knees.

First, win the war. Then, worry about morality.

If you define the war as EVERYONE that means us harm then the war will never be over. And it can be used to justify ANYTHING. The 'war' has not victory condition short of depopulating most of the earth (the more you kill the more enemies you make). It isn't sustainable unless we want to be a police state at war with the rest of the world. That is what you are proposing we be, FOREVER.
