Hamas, Hezbollah, the Janjaweed, Jemaah Islamiyah, and Al-Shabaab are all variants of the same virus, they employ similar tactics–all are masters of spin.

CSteele: "The Taliban did not bomb Bali nor can I ever recall them cutting the throats of any journalists though Belly I'm sure will enlighten me if there was one"

There you go Csteele, yet another of many bombings by the Taliban,
killing innocent civilians.

The list is endless, but of course we won't let all these killings
get in the way of a good story. Just blame the drones!

It still amuses me how some Westerners go on some kind of deep
guilt trip, not even able to show the least bit of objectivity.

The only way to stop these people is to make it a non profit activity to be one of the leaders.

These leaders stay well back from any personal fighting, behind many women & children.

When they find this doesn't protect them, & only then, will they stop sending their useful idiots to do their dirty work.

Guys my argument is simple and consistent. I am saying that the drone strikes by the CIA are against codified and customary international law and if you decide the deeds being perpetrated by the enemy are deemed to be so egregious that they warrant the cost to us as a society both in terms of our hard won moral values plus our security by spurring others to the fight then so be it but you need to be aware of the consequences.

However if we condone through lack of action those very acts being done unanswered by an ally then we lose what little moral justification we may still have and it just becomes a question of who will win the propaganda war.

I believe if the indiscriminate drone strikes by the secret services is what it takes to prosecute this conflict then the price is too high and we should get out.

Further I believe that far more attention needs to be given to Saudi Arabia, its role in funding these conflicts and terrorism, its treatment of its inhabitants especially its guest workers, and its horrendous religious fundamentalism.

Labelling those who point out the current inconsistencies as friends of the enemy does show a marked lack of objectivity.

Ignore international law

They have lost the war
