From a power and political standpoint it's just not good policy either though. A destabilized Middle East is not in America's long term interest.


Also what you just said... is the reason I hate this concept that "the terrorists" are the bad guys. What are our actions in comparison? A terrorist kills 10 people for his ideology, for his politics, to prove a point. We kill hundreds of thousands, condemn millions more to terrible living conditions, for our convenience.


Which one is the more mosterous? We don't even get to hide behind, "My religion told me to!".


LOL I think you -also pr- misunderstood me.

I was NOT talking about terrorists, I was talking about States <---> Governments. They see people as cattle and bugs.

You should both know I do NOT agree with the mainstream undertstading of religion-terrorism dynamic by now.

Wait....you mean if you bomb the shit out of people then those people might be angry enough at you to kill your ambassador?






Shocking.

Somehow I don't feel responsible for bombing the shit out of people. Can't remember authorizing it.

I think Obama even got a Nobel Peace Prize for that. Well deserved?

That is the problem with "group responsibility" and "just war" theory.  The myth of the social contract.

Why would he shoot someone who is already dead?

OK, could you eleborate then? I am lost.

Also, you shouldn't use that 'we' so generously. Don't own up to something you have never supported in any scale.

I wasn't aware that you were a Russian government official.
