Predator drones

[Skashion]

You know, it'd be easier just to kill all new born babies, or sterilise people, in order to counter terror, crime and general hooliganism.

Easier, perhaps; duller, certainly.

I just can't understand how you can justify the murder of innocent people.

And i can't believe some of the shit i am reading on here...

You and me both.
I have seldom seen such flimsy, spurious logic deployed to defend indiscriminate killing.
Thankfully it's only the usual predictable apologists who think that way.

And here's Bluemoon's very own drone, right on station.

The original post claimed that 50 civilians were being killed for every terrorist. That wasn't the case and it was actually 1 per 5 terrorists. Is that still too many? Yes it is but the sad reality is that we're fighting a war not against tanks and troops on a battlefield but people who live and hide among civilians. People who have no problem killing hundreds of innocent civilians. They don't ask you before detonating their bombs and splattering you all over a tube carriage how you feel about certain things.

Despite all the opporbrium heaped on George Bush, his policy was only to undertake targeted killings of known individuals. That's at least less repugnant than the Obama doctrine which is that if people fit the pattern of a terrorist then they'll be hit. But even that Bush policy can (and probably has) lead to the deaths of innocent people. There are always terrible moral dilemmas in war and this is sadly another.

And there's another thing. The fear of living under the threat drone attacks was well described in that study by Stanford & NYU. Yet not many if any of the people on here attacking the drone policy expressed any sympathy whatsoever for the Israeli children who live in constant dread of rocket attacks and have suffered pyschological problems because of it. Those childrens' lives don't count to them.

Tit for tat.

Again.

The only person who is justifying the death of children is you. I don't want any children to die be they Jew or Muslim. You seem to think it's OK to kill Muslims because Muslims kill Jews.

You can't even see how pitiful your stance is.

You're point scoring using the corpses of children as points tokens.

Some things are more important than getting one over on your supposed enemy, children's lives being one of them.

It's a difficult task, but you actually manage to look more ridiculous and desperate with every passing post.
No wonder Damocles posts rarely nowadays - his brand of common sense is bound to go down badly in the mod room.
So psychological damage to Israeli kids is a fair comparison to dead Palestinian children, and countless innocent civilians?
Incremental and exponential foolishness on this scale is extremely rare, even by Bluemoon standards.
So well done you.

Drone, drone, drone, drone, drone, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If its targeting the kids it will be a Roman Catholic one.

I believe the Jewish drone is a scaled down version of:

To conclude I am a naive child who hates the west. I shouldn't complain about the death of innocent people because I can vote, go to a gay bar and choose from 20 different types of bagels in the supermarket.

As I said before let your humanity decide what is right not your prejudice.

I heard there was some radical muslims in Manchester maybe they are suspected terrorists, maybe the U.S will use a drone attack. Doesn't matter if it kills a few blues and their kids though....does it? Possibly terrorist? The greater good? The REAL world?
