If you excuse brutality against innocent civilians anywhere, you excuse it everywhere.

The difference being, of course, that we didn't start this war. They did. They have a culture and belief system that allows despotic rule by the Taliban.

It's their tough damned luck. I would have used nukes.

You can call for nuking all of "them" or you can claim to be different from "them," but you cannot claim both. If you want to nuke innocent civilians then you want the same thing the terrorists wanted when they murdered people in the WTC and Pentagon.
