In reply to the discussion: Yesterday, the Obama administration did something horrifying. [View all]R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)118. A die is a die, Cali. Perhaps killing civillians in the fight
against terrorism is different than killing civilians in the fight against communism.
They're still dead...no matter what admin wants to spin it a a moral victory.
To continue US policies where foreign civilians will knowingly get killed us still murder.
Does it matter if the person ordering the hellfire strike is likable ir not.
Sure, Kissenger is a war criminal in my book, but be careful in rationalizing the deaths that the USA is responsible for...and who orders them.
