Re: Soft Targets vs Terrorism
I'm pointing to the fact that a country that drops two bombs like that killing 200,000-250,000 civilians, cannot be considered a country that holds high regards for individual human rights and civilian casualties.
It could if they did that to save millions of others...

Trading civilian lives for other civilian lives only makes it a bias concern for human rights a civilian casualties. That's the same thing Al Qaeda is doing, and every other terrorist group. Theirs is just religiously motivated so it's their religion that they're protecting.
Hmm, are you agreeing with me?
Fight it's government not it's people.
That depends on what color they are

Re: Soft Targets vs Terrorism
If you are also saying that the US doesn't hold a high regard for human rights and civilian casualty - other than our own and that of our interests - just as every other nation, country, state, and political organization - then yeah, we are in total agreement.
Note: I'm not saying this is wrong, lets just stop pretending we are more moral than any one else.
Certainly not every one is equally moral. I suppose there's some out there that are less moral than us. Is Al Qaeda one of them? It seems like it to me but I don't know shit about it.
Absolutely! You gotta draw the line somewhere.
Yeah, we should draw a line IN THE SAND
