US plan to use illegal weapons

[GAsux]

I'm quite sure there are a lot of things being "discussed", many of which would probably make you want to renounce your citizenship. Doesn't necessarily translate into practice.

You're absolutely right. We are not in the business of intentionally attacking civilians. And I'm quite sure the intent of less than lethal weapons is not for "attacking". I'm pretty sure they aren't planning on setting them off in Iraqi K-Marts for the fun of it. They're talking about rioting etc. And sure you can raise ethical questions, all of which will remain hypothetical until the war happens and we get a chance to see how the "average" people of Iraq will respond.

I see where you're coming from. My point is again its sort of no win. Drop bombs, you lose. Try to come up with alternatives to lethal force, you lose.
