The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

I am sorry that you and your coworker had to go through that. I just don't think collateral damage is morally acceptable. We have been doing the same thing for over 100 years but the results are no different it is infuriating.

100 years? The results aren't all the same they are mixed. The Nazis and Japanese militarists aren't in power in Germany or Japan, the South Koreans are free, the Baath Party and ISIS aren't in power in Iraq and lots of innocent deaths were part of the cost we paid for that.

When I said results are the same I was referring to civilian deaths as the cost of doing business. I would hope that we would have tried to reduce it at all cost possible at this point. Maybe this is the best we can do? I am pretty confident there is a 5 year old Palestinian kid that just lost his parents and in 20 years we will see the cycle continue. wash. rinse. repeat.
