Would you bomb Osama if it meant some civilian lives?

[Mathematician]

The question was asked last night, and the only person who answered no was Dennis Kucinich.

If you had 5 minutes to react to credible intelligence which placed Osama in an area where a small group of civilians resided, would you order the attack?

 

[Mike182]

no, the needs of the many do not outweigh the needs of the few to the extent where blind killing is a positive.

No, I would not.

 

[ayani]

no. certainly not.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Under what conditions?
Tossing a grenade or an air-strike bombing?

 

[Reverend Rick]

I would not bat an eye, kill that sucker!

 

[Bishka]

I would not bat an eye, kill that sucker!

So you would kill innocents in order to kill a guilty?

 

[Reverend Rick]

You have to realize that removing him from the planet would save far more lives than you took. If you were around Osama, you should have knew the risks involved in doing so.

No, especially being as you can never been certain if he is actually there or not!

Its like the old question.... Two men in a burning building.. you can only save one person! One is your father, the other is a scientist who has just found the cure to cancer? Which one would you save?
Do you save one and kill many
Or sacrifice your father and save many.

I would save the scientist.
And I would bomb Osama.

 

[Reverend Rick]

It would be my luck I would thought they said Osama when they actually meant Obama.

Violence begats more violence I see.

Oh yes.

The civilians? They could watch the public, videotaped beheading of Osama if they wanted.

I'm pretty sure that type of justice is a-okay in Osama's world. So why not do it?

I just read the poll and saw bombing was the option. Woops.

I'd like to change my answer to "no."

Sorry about that.

They will kill hundreds of innocent people but they have a problem with abortion.

 

[Reverend Rick]

What is your position on abortion Becky?

 

[Gentoo]

What is your position on abortion Becky?

What does that have to do with the thread?

 

[Reverend Rick]

What does that have to do with the thread?

Good question. Why did Becky bring up abortion? She also has the OP up to hundreds of people dead now.

The thread said "some" Some = hundreds now?

If Osama Bin ‘Laden’ removes his fund from American system, that is 5 trillion dollars and enough for America to go bust over night (so i heard).....so why would you send bombs or planes, when you can remove foundations?......makes no logical sense in the slightest……just like attacking Iraq as it had weapons of mass destruction buried next to their oil wells…which are most likely owned by the Laden family also…..????
