They are the worst of society and they will kill that man who killed a child as a favor to the world.

    But you are saying becasue that child is not an american I am the one who is wrong. I am a crazy person. Making stuff up. No the bombings are real, just because you say that it is not real no one is going to believe you we all have eyes and ears we have all seen it on the news. Who are you trying to convince. You would have us believe there is no war no child has ever been killed in a war. What hocus pocus, who is the real conspiracy theorist?
    Do you think war is going away based on your arguments?

    You would get a Nobel.

    that we do this every day to innocent people in other countries.

    If you went in public and said what you are saying here you might not make it 10 steps!
    You are not the majority. Not everyone is ok with murder! You don't speak for the other 99.999% of us Americans.
    Go in public and say it and see what kind of reaction you receive.
    In your school scenario add that the bad guys set up an anti-aircraft battery, heavy machine guns, and set explosives all around the school. You are going to march in there to tell the bad guys to knock it off?

    Do you remember what happened in Russia many years ago when terrorists attacked a school? Belsan School Siege.

    The Beslan school siege (also referred to as the Beslan school hostage crisis or Beslan massacre)[3][4][5] started on 1 September 2004, lasted three days, involved the illegal imprisonment of over 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children),[6] and ended with the deaths of at least 334 people. The crisis began when a group of armed Islamic militants, mostly Ingush and Chechen, occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation) on 1 September 2004. The hostage-takers were the Riyad-us Saliheen, sent by the Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, who demanded recognition of the independence of Chechnya, and Russian withdrawal from Chechnya. On the third day of the standoff, Russian security forces stormed the building with the use of tanks, incendiary rockets and other heavy weapons.[7] As of December 2006, 334 people (excluding terrorists) were killed,[1] including 186 children.[8]

    So are you arguing that Russia should have bombed the school instead and killed all 1100 people? I am not sure where you are going with that. It was a thought experiments to allow people to understand the seriousness of what we are doing to other people who are real living breathing people like you and me and not just a news story. Of course it wont stop war. But people have the right to know that we are killing innocent civilians.

    The other part of the story is that most war is fought for greed and does not need to be happening in the first place. Most of the wars are fought over resources. We have created these situations in this world. In many cases we have created the Rebels, and now call them terrorists. And the people who have to suffer the most are the innocent. Why should real precious living breathing children die for our causes. It is unacceptable.

    You all say I am wrong but I am 100% certain if you were in Syria and your child was there with you and you left them in a building and a bad guy ran in there or even set up anti-air and all that. I am certain you would not give the go to take the building. You would fight with your last breath to get your own child out of that building first. You may ok the bomb once your child was out even if other children were in there. But I am certain you would not bomb your own baby. Why? Because you baby is precious. What is so wrong about understanding the preciousness of life, and knowing that killing is killing, and it is wrong? What is wrong with that?

    Killing is not ok, and unless someone commits a heinous act they do not deserve to be an acceptable casualty. The innocent do not deserve to die. We feel so strongly in our country about that, that in our law system if we have even a shadow of a doubt in a persons guilt we do not convict them. We say better to let 100 guilty men go free than to put one innocent man to death. Why don't we treat people of other nations with the same regards to life. Are they not considered to be as human as you and me?
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    No. I did not make that argument. I did ask if you ever stacked up to clear a room. Are you going to answer that?

    These things are not easy, but the answer is not to just go home and watch TV. Terrorists need to be put down. And even when we ask them nicely, they refuse to leave civilians out of the mix.

    Historically, most wars are fought over water rights. Is that greed? Without water, a human will die in 3-4 days.

    Nobody is dying for our cause. In Syria people are dying for Assad's cause. In Iraq people are dying for Iraq's cause.

    Regarding the unacceptable part. What can you do about it?

    You confuse yourself. A father dealing with your scenario (with my add-on) plays a different role than a military commander with greater responsibility. And again, I am not sure war is going to end because you state that babies are precious. So what is your plan B?

    I do not consider militant Jihadists as human like you and me. They are rabid animals that ought to be hunted down and killed. Notice the use of the moral imperative ought.

    It is reality. I suppose you don't think from the commander's point of view. He has a mission to complete, and his enemies are cheating by holding women and children as shields. Violating all international law provisions on the conduct of war.

    Maybe someday soon, everyone will pick a flower, smell it, and lay down their arms.

    This is what we are partaking in. It happens many times per year the bad guys hide among civilians and we call in an air strike and take out the whole building.

    Surely we are better than this. A culling of the innocent is taking place in our name.
    I'm not sure we are that extreme but we have bombed villages for one or two "terrorist number two men" while creating more terrorist than we kill. In the international scene America has become a control freak, imperialistic bully. And like any bully we only perpetrate these acts on the weak. They respond with attacks on civilians and roadside bombs because they cannot stand up to us militarily and the cycle drives on. Real patriots, even some in the armed forces , are ashamed of these practices and need to make more noise.

    Oh, ya, but it was. Can you even imagine some of those very same images? The amount of weaponry that is with some of the most dangerous of hands, add in MK Ultra, plus the mesmerizations! You won't ever stop making accusations! They may even pick certain dates for the formalities.

    The shooter(s) may be labeled as "White Supremacist," even if they destroy mostly White youth, it never seems to fail the tests. As they are other, and more of a conspiracy may exist, as wars are the causes. Of who will win over We the People, will it be the sadomasochistic machine(s) of who will be the very best warriors?

    The earthquake zone of hostilities. Right inside of this same forum, the lack of not seeing the changing of the tides. The times living before the world as it has never been before just because it is all because not enough of man pays enough attention to that same Zodiac that exists in the night skies! Because the animal kingdom suffers, so will also their nations.
