If your hypothetical ward bishop announces over the pulpit that the church is on the brink of destruction because of a single member's weakness, I'd say he's overreacting. Quote:
That's the natural conclusion your and creekster's comments lead one to believe--that there's no difference between the mindset of one set of civilians deaths and the mindset of the other. I think it's an obtuse observation. Last edited by Tex; 07-18-2007 at 02:14 AM. |

Guys like Tex who advocate U.S. resort to genocide in Iraq effectively admit the campaign is a failure. It's like saying we need to become Sadam to win. Now, tell me again, why we invaded and occupied that country?

No one thinks Iraq is a success. Really we are arguing about degrees of failure.

Now that you know this, FM, tell me how we make this outcome elegant?

That's all I was saying. Cali took us down this weak does-no-attacks-really-mean-anything tangent which is really superficial to the point ... which once again is (contrary to SeattleUte's disingenuous post) that we should avoid civilian casualties as much as is reasonable. Quote:
