How on earth does a 2,000 lb bomb, dropped into an extremely tightly packed urban area track who it kills? I'm keen to know. Was there some way it could differentiate between a terrorist and a mother trying to protect her child?
From what I understood what they did was when they told the civilians to get out they had some system (not sure what) but to see how many civilians were still in the area.
no matter what you do civilians WILL die in war it is THAT simple. Israel did not start this they reacted we can debate all day long whether they overreacted underrected or what but civilians die in war. In fact you are more likely to die as a civilian than you are as a combatant.
Thanks for the heads up...
It is not that I feel any death toll is "OK", but that I realize in war death of civilians is just a fact. Are there things that can be done to try to reduce those numbers yes maybe Are there laws that forbid combatants from just outright shooting any civilian hey see yes, but as to an "acceptable death toll I am not quite sure how you (or anyone) wants to define that because short of just literally shooting civilians or saying look let us bomb that civilian house over there (both of which are immoral and oppose the laws of combat combatants are not really meaning to kill civilians it is just a fact in a war zone that civilians die no matter what steps are taken to reduce those numbers,
Then the numbers don't matter. Just keep on bombing the place until no terrorists who were there are alive. The civilian deaths are irrelevant.
When did I say that it is acceptable for them to just go killing civilians I did not and neither do the laws of combat,
Apparently you think that civilian deaths are acceptable. So you need to decide if the number of deaths are irrelevant in achieving the aim.
No - I have not watched cable tv since before G.W. Bush was in office - I refuse to pay for cable and really don't have the time. Personally I read from both sides of the issues.
Thanks I have really great days!
Americans love an underdog!
Perhaps.
I am not sure "acceptable" is the right word. Do I understand they will happen yes so I guess if that is how you are defining acceptable then yes I find them acceptable do I feel that those deaths ( and any deaths need to be limited as much as is possibile also yes.
I never said anything about high profile anyone.
I'm not aware of large numbers of Dem voters who support Donald either. They may want someone else, but I don't see them voting for Donald.
