The West has been picking sides and selling weapons to it's preferred puppets for decades. Our oil companies have been exploiting Middle East oil resources for decades too. Western interference has a long and undignified record in the Middle East that dates back long before 9/11. And that justifies murder, how? I think you risk infantilizing the Muslims of the world when you say "oh, they can't help but storm our embassies and kill, after the shit we've done to them." No, they can help it.
Western interference has a long and undignified record in the Middle East that dates back long before 9/11. Sure. But it has a long and undignified record in Europe and Asia, as well. But it wasn't the Russians who killed thousands on 9/11. It's not the Germans now storming our embassies to kill in the name of their God. For whatever reason, the usual dirty-but-necessary statecraft that every nation, including those of the Muslim world, is engaged in only "blows back" from Muslims in the middle east. Because it isn't, in fact, blowback at all. It's the result of decades of Muslim-world leaders fomenting anti-Americanism.

So if we stopped, would they believe us? If it really goes back that far?
If we retreated in every respect from involvement in the Middle East, wouldn't they just see that as the next level of deception? If they're already prepared to blame us for using our earthquake machine on Turkey and Pakistan, why would they believe us if we left?

America shouldn't stop targeting their children with drone missiles and stop supporting dictatorships that oppress their lives for oil profits only because they might consider it the next level of deception. Rather, america should stop targeting their children with drone missiles and stop dictatorships that oppress their lives for oil profits because it is the moral thing to do.

Do you have any evidence that the US targeted children for drone attacks or is this simply more of your unsupported assertions?
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

If you were the parent of a dead child killed from a drone attack, which would be vastly more comforting to you?: 1. Your dead child was targeted.2. Your dead child was accidentally killed along with hundreds of other children in hundreds of other previous drone attacks? Or how about: If I "accidentally" became drunk, then killed one child every day for ten years, then killed your child, would you still accept my apologies for "accidentally" killing your child? If no, why not? Edited by dronester, : added "?"

Mostly its just you.
The US does not target children with drone strikes and its lying when you hyperbolically spin it that way. And since you're such a fan of disgusting photos:

First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.

...the reluctance to deal with the reality of collateral damage. "Surgical strike" is nearly a contradiction in terms.
