Military aircraft fired a precision-guided missile into a suspected terrorist hideout in the town of Fairfax Missouri yesterday. A Pentagon spokesman said later, "As we have repeatedly said, we will continue to pursue terrorists' activities and their operations wherever we may find them." There was no immediate word on casualties, but the residents and police told The Press that a home was destroyed and eight people, including four children, killed. They were assessing the damage done by the attack and digging through the rubble, and said they'd know more about its success later in the day.
Would there be outrage? Would there be riots? Would americans shrug their collective shoulders and go back to watching reality television?
This is happening weekly in other countries. WE, america, are dropping bombs in other sovereign countries and killing civilians in most every case. What gives us the right to do this? I don't "think" americans would let it happen here. Why do we allow it to happen elsewhere in the world?
The scenario in the beginning paragraph came from real headlines. The only difference is the name of the city was changed.
