The context is TYRANNY, which the U.S. has fought in wars of the 20th century. Terrorism began many decades ago and insisted on gaining our attention. However, this war is no different from any other.
If the enemy is concentrated in one area, why allow them to continue their murder and mayhem? BOMB THEM! Just as the "decapitation" strike before the war killed some "innocents" when it intended to take out the dictator of Iraq and save lives. If those who don't want to be bombed would eliminate the terrorist, it would not be necessary to do so in our own way.
I must compliment you....some of your earlier posts were fine examples of a fool's sermon.
So I guess you would also consider leveling, say, Detroit or Buffalo, which also "harbored" terrorists?
Look, just because terrorists are in a city, doesn't mean that the city "harbored" them. Most people don't even know the bad guys are there -- and a lot of them probably wouldn't want them if they knew the bad guys were there. But it looks like you'd kill them regardless.
My only consolation in this discussion with the rancid "kill 'em all" crowd is that you're spending your manly energy screeching murder on FR, rather than making a hash of things in the real world.
