The moral high ground cannot be held if you stoop to Machiavellian tactics. You either believe something and live it, or quit saying you believe it. America has stood for years as the bastion of freedom, equality and justice, at least in her words. If she lived it, the world would adore her and the Bin Ladens of the world would find few followers. |
WOOT!!
matthew, I think this is the first time I've
ever agreed with you. It's a good day in my eyes
With the capabilities of the coalition militaries today, it would be simple to drop a little munition right on his head and be done with no loss of innocent life.
If you
really wanted to make some snake-eaters (Special Forces) happy, let them sneak into his room and take him out personally.
We can't go around using the term 'collateral damage' as we have been and brushing everything under the rug. If we plan a strike on a valid target and take out an innocent - well, that's wrong.
Ummm, of course, then there's the issue of human shields, but that's for another day.
