President Obama: Do you really love America?

[abaris]

Terrorists intend to murder civilians.

Killing innocent civilians by mistake is not necessarily the same thing.

Next?

Yeah, next. You're not getting it, that's obvious.

Murdering civilians is a means to an end. Which is provoking a violent reaction to get more people to join their cause. And the West gladly obliges to make these ends meet - for the last 14 years.

So debating if one action is less despicable than the other fails to adress the issue. According to Iraq body ocunt, there have been anywhere between 135.000 and 153.000 killed civilians. They all had relatives, who loved them. Do you think, they would engage in a debate with anyone, if these deaths were intentional or just a mistake? And that's just Iraq.

That's why this whole discussion from the comfy armchair is so inane that it hurts.
