Consider Shock and Awe that started the invasion of Iraq and the various drones we have launched.
I would definitely be interested to hear why the same tactics are acceptable for some and not for others. If we want the moral high ground, we need to find nonviolent solutions to our problems, not try to show why our violence is acceptable and others' isn't.

:roll: As if violence alone compromises the moral high ground. Iraqi's dying as a result of an invasion in which we subsequently ousted a dictator and handed the country over to its people does not make us moral equals with the dictator merely because both happened to employ violent measures along the way. That's child-like logic that cannot be taken seriously.I would definitely be interested to hear why the same tactics are acceptable for some and not for others.

Because we have the greater, more important, and infinitely more moral objective. We are allowed to be hypocritical in pursuit of victory. It isn't about fairness--it's about winning. A democratic new world order will be built, in part, upon violence. Why we fight is just as important as how we fight.
I don't think we are terrorists, but I would imagine the terrorists think we are. It's kind of the way that thing works.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not.
Completely serious.

You're a very good argument for censorship.

Pretty sure the people we kill don't see it that way. To them, their violence against us is just as moral as you think ours is against them. There is no one who will allow violence against themselves because someone else says it's justified.
And why should we be willing to accept hypocrisy from ourselves? Don't you strive to be better than that?
I hear the Nazi's didn't like us very much either....Pretty sure the people we kill don't see it that way. To them, their violence against us is just as moral as you think ours is against them. There is no one who will allow violence against themselves because someone else says it's justified.

What tactics? Have American troops targeted and killed 3,000 civilians?
Have American troops blown up any pizza parlors?
Have American agents hijacked any ships, or aircraft, taken hostages and executed any of those hostages?
What about beheading women and children?
In August 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people,
