Wrong targets are always a part of warfare, it does not invalidate the need to defend one's self, has an indivdual, or a nation. We are not discussing some theoretical criminal trial to determine the guilt or innocence of an individual, or group of individuals.
They are self declaired enemies, not some innocents swept up for a general trial. Big brother is not the same as military personnel tasked with identifying, then neutralizing enemy targets.
I make no argument that giving anyone the ablility to kill U.S. citizens without trial is a disaster waiting to happen. Again in this thread I will state that the solution to that is our (as civilians) task to rectify.
You state that my statement among other things "fucking disgusting, contemptable, immoral, and my favorite "shit for brains".
A Fulbrite scholar I'm not, and yes in my youth I may have bedded a few women I did not love, but I am pretty sure that the availble CAT scans I've undergone would not find fecal matter in my cranium, nor am I a callous degenerate.
What I am, is an individual that is aware that my country is in a conflict with individuals and groups that would kill as many of us as they can if given the oppertunity. We are trying to find our way in a type of war in which the lines are at best blurred.
War never changes, it sucks, but it sucks even more to lose one.
