Are you in favor of the MOAB?
April 15, 2017 at 3:15 pm
I don't know much about it except that it was a single really big bomb that targeted and killed a bunch of ISIS members hiding inside a mountain.
Though I have caught wind that many people are against it. If you are one of those people, can you explain why you are against it? If you approve of it, why?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It's a big bomb which was used to kill people. If it had been the second largest explosive in use, noone would even talk about it.

Huge, incredibly expensive, provoking, and aimed at a vague target, and its efficacy is unclear. Apparently deployed to demonstrate the President's gigantic penis. (and make no mistake, Clinton probably would have at least considered deploying it, too).
I am a pacifist, so I'd be opposed to anything like this anyway, but those are my extra reasons.

More important than the men was the supplies they had stored there. Look at the area in Google Earth, it's not easy to move munitions through there, it cost them time and money to do it. Now they're useless, buried inside a mountain.

That would make me feel a little better about it.

Min was just cheering on ISIS for blowing up a car bomb. The weapons ISIS doesn't have now could have done worse.

I would have to say in favor. It's hard to disagree with this... as horrific as this may seem to some people, something needs to be done about ISIS. We need to show these people we are not going to bow to them.
I don't think this was Trumps idea but he did authorize the strike if I'm not mistaken. I just hope the military gets the results they expect from this. These guys have very intelligent strategists that help plan things, so it's not just some impulse move. It's like chess. I just hope they are playing the right strategy.
But, as much as we know at this time, I have to say I'm for it.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Depends on where they are dropped.
Restricting use to third world terrorist shit holes, North Korea, Chicago and New Jersey is fine.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
