Latest Drone Strike and Civilian Casualties...

I generally detest drone warfare (and traditional bombing with manned aircraft) due to the civilian casualties it produces.

However, it is very likely that if the car bomb they destroyed had been allowed to go off at the airport, the civilian casualties would have been much higher.

The traditional "trolley problem" lives on.

Republicans: "The world will never trust us again"

Also Republicans: "Biden should have reneged on the peace agreement we just signed with the Taliban months ago!"

I agree with JD Vance that only children should count for votes!

Andrew Brown "driving at" officers...

I don't know about you, but if I was arresting someone quote unquote "dangerous", I probably would not position myself either in front of or behind a running vehicle that person is operating.

If the Ohio shooting of the teenage girl is not justified, then no shooting is justified...

One could argue that cops should not have guns, fine.

However, if you think cops should have guns, then using them in a situation where one girl is trying to murder another girl seems justified to me.
