So much for "war on terror"

[kellychaos]

This kind of reminds of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Sure, the effects were devastating and ugly but the end result was that a lot of lives were saved via this decision rather than conventional warfare. No one can ever confince me otherwise.

Allow me to explain. Sure, a lot of lives and property (collateral damage?) are lost unintentionally due to the current combat doctrine of the U.S., but I propose that a lot more lives/damge would be incurred under a conventional style of combat that was not so surgical in its intent. Again, no one can convince me otherwise.

Note: This is not to say that I agree with the current activities. I don't agree with the idea of combat to effect regime change. If a nation doesn't immediately threaten us, then leave them the fuck alone. That is all.
