Understanding Pro-war Christians' Indifference to Civilian Deaths

[Whyzdom]

Why do you choose to not find the US culpable on some level even though we knew what he was like when we gave him weapons?


You make the comparison of giving a friend a gun; a better comparison would be giving a deranged friend a gun and then yes, yes you do share some burden of the guilt when that friend uses the gun to kill someone. It is no different then being held accountable when you have a party and allow a guest to drink themself until they are drunk then let them drive home and on the way they kill someone.

I do find the US partly responsible for giving Saddam weapons that he shouldn't have had. It has come back to bite us in the butt. With that said though, he is the psychotic that used them. As for my anology, I can see where one might include the deranged part...
