      That’s the neat part: nobody is a civilian when you define everyone as an unlawful combatant.

      But otherwise, every war ever fought has killed civilians; so starting a war is automatically about killing civilians at some point. Stating that it’s not the main goal is hypocritical

        Do you think the US should have just left Bin Laden to ‘do his thing’? Do you think religious terrorist can be stopped without using violence?

          Well they did let him do his thing (unknowingly). They even trained him… But after that, I think they shouldn’t have invaded a country for him. Otherwise where do you stop? Do the US bomb Texas every time there is a Christian bomber?

            Do you believe Texas is going to refuse to extradite a christian terrorist that’s attacked New York?
