It's beyond disgusting. If there's a couple thousand terrorists, you don't hurt 1,000 civilians to get to them? That's the easy lazy way out. It's legally and morally wrong on so many levels. And I know some will say "Innocents get hurt in war all the time." Ok I get that civilians end up getting hurt but sometimes it happens on accident. Just because innocents end up getting hurt, doesn't mean you go out of your way to hurt others. They aren't the enemy.
I understand your sentiment but supposing those terrorists were using the civilians as shields as they walk through the streets shooting other innocent civilians? There really isn't an easy, black-and-white, answer, imo.
You never hurt innocents no matter what.
Millions of civilians got killed in the Second World War.
Does that make it right? The whole nuke thing in Japan was wrong to blow them up just to make Japan surrender. Why do people think choosing the lesser of two evils is ok? That means you're still pickling evil though.
No, it doesn't make it right, but sadly these things do happen in a war.
It happens and it's still wrong but I honestly don't know how this senior Danish member can say this with no hesitation in his voice.
I assume he has right-wing views.
Even with the most well- intended military campign will kill innocent people. An army of saints would still screw up and make mistakes and those mistakes would cost the lives of civillians. you cannot control every solder or every bullet. there is a tacit admission this is the case that we make war crimes illegal under international law, so that when it does happen they are going to be put on trial.
War makes moral judegments ridiclous. When your trying to kill someone, is there a moral way to do it? nobody won a war by asking nicely. "please" and "thank you" don't really come into it. "good" and "evil" don't either. Even if you kill only people in uniform, your still a murderer and then are asked to come home and pretend like it never happened or that it was a "good" thing.
legal Recognition for war crimes aren't just there to protect civillians, but also to protect solders when they finally come home and have to "re-live" their experiences and come to term with them. A solder may "just" about do that if they say that the people they killed were actually a threat to them or their freinds or their country. War is wrong, but you also don't get to decide whether you fight in one. you're just there. And that's probably all you can say about it.
But to actually seek to kill civillans? war is wrong, but even then there are gradations of wrong and that is "more" wrong than alot of the thing people may have to do in a war.
Because it's better than choosing the worse of two evils.Why do people think choosing the lesser of two evils is ok? T

If you know a way to defeat ISIS without tons of innocent civilians dying, feel free to describe it. Nobody else seems smart enough.

The best way to defeat them would be to figure out how they got started in the first place.
Israel need someone like this man to be leader .https://theunitedrepublicblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/15/bomb-women-and-children/
