Predator drones

We are fighting a dirty war against an enemy hell bent on hiding behind civilians whenever it suits.

Drones are the best weapon we have in targeting these individuals when we get the chance and yes, unfortunately innocent lives are often taken, tragically but instead of trying to blame our governments or armed forces here, try to blame the cowards that hide themselves in villages full of women and kids.

They tried ignoring it, President Clinton did very little despite increasing attacks which then cumulated with 9/11, like I said war is not pretty, but I do know they are not deliberately targeting civilians, I can't see they have any other option you can go on about US foreign policy, but the Jihadists are not fighting that, they are fighting what they consider to be a holy war against the west

Ok what if they called it a war on terror from the west rather than a holy war?

Same horse different jockey.

I would never blame the armed forces for anything they are instructed to do.

If the government said invade Germany tomorrow the Generals would not be asking are you sure they would be going well where do we hit first.

As someone once put it "Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death"

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?
What does it say on your blog? "I am 20 years old and a free thinker who loves peace."

Well we all love peace and your thinking is certainly free. Of any depth or insight. No doubt you'd have been an appeaser in 1936 and presumably were quite happy to leave the Falkland Islanders to the mercy of the Argentinian military junta.

Absolutely and utterly pathetic.
So yet another poster is accused of having Nazi sympathies by you for having the audacity to oppose Israel's state sponsored terrorism.
TMQ is right - your complete inability to discuss anything regarding Israel objectively is simply embarrassing.
I can't be bothered even trying to reason with you anymore, because all you will do is find some spurious reason to ban me, as usual, and I'm sure Ric is getting fed up of having to rescind your groundless decisions by now, so I'll leave you to your sorry and shameful bullying of a decent young lad who has principles and values that you could only dream of having.

Drone, drone, drone, drone drone, drone, drone, drone, drone, drone, drone drone, drone, drone, drone, drone, drone, drone drone, drone, drone, drone...

You really are a complete and utter bore, as Blue Purgatory rightly said, a post which you had the nerve to report. Laughably so given the unwarranted abuse you persistently hand out to people. You give it out but can't take it. You are the most shameful bully on here you sanctimonious troll. And of your 9 bans, I've only issued 1 of them as far as I can see. Having got that out of the way, let's answer your post.

Where did Israel come into this? He made the claim that he loved peace (man). Well surely we all do don't we? But in 1936 many people who thought the same way didn't want to go to war & some may well have been Nazi sympathisers but many weren't, including Chamberlain and many around him. They believed in a policy of appeasement and that giving Hitler what he wanted would keep us out of a war. They wanted peace ("Peace in our time") and people like Churchill were labelled as warmongers for suggesting there was another moral choice.

Well we now know who was right and who was wrong and millions & millions of people had to die, mostly innocent civilians, to prove the point. Had France and England acted in 1936, lives would have been lost but millions more would have been saved. Those who "loved peace" were well-meaning but naive and stupid and were culpable for the loss of those lives. The point being that sometimes you have to make difficult moral choices in which there are no clear winners.

I wonder what the view of those who are arguing so vehemently against the killing of children is on abortion?

No, if you believe in pro choice you absolutely must endorse the bombing of children, the two go hand in hand....

Apparently.

Jesus wept.

Some of the things Prestwich_Blue has to and about me in this thread has really surprised me. I've any respect I had for him on this forum and would probably refuse to shake his hand if we were ever introduced.

After hearing what he's all about, why would you want to shake his hand?
