What is ya'lls take on the Human Shields heading to Iraq?

Bomb em or avoid those areas they are in?

I say they are aiding and abetting the enemy, and willing to die for thier cause.. let em die.

Don't kill them if you can avoid it. IF they're in the way, then it's just another skull on the side of the jet for me.

You know which way I voted.

Fucking Hippies are ruining this country. The more we can get to stand infornt of bullets the better. Too bad they didn't get this bright Idea durring Viet Nam, we'd all be a lot better off.

What if parents have brought their children there? Do you doom the children to die as well?

Manitou · 2003-01-23, 04:46 PM

The parents are unltimately responsible for the health and welfare of their children. If they choose to condemn their own children to death, then so be it.

The consequences, whether you believe in a final judgement or karma or whatever, will be upon the heads of the parents.

Navaron · 2003-01-23, 04:49 PM

a) That means they're the worst parents ever and deserve to die and
B) The apple doesn't far from the tree. Darwin was right...kinda like the gay thing, they just find each other.

So if the parents have been irresponsable with the childrens lives, you punish the children. The parents put them in the line of fire, but it is still you pulling the trigger when you know they are there.

Whats so tough about atleast trying to aviod civilians. Yes some are going to get taken out, however I don't think we should go in with a no holds barred mind set. We will do what we have to do, however I am sure it is worth our while to find ways to minimize civilian casulties.

Whats wrong with trying to minimalize civialn casulties?

Navaron · 2003-01-23, 04:56 PM

I think it is obvous that we all would avoid killing any innocent by any reasonable means. That's not the question. The question is if you have to destroy target A and some schmucks brought a kid with them, do you still hit it? The answer is yes if it means saving more lives. The parents will be the ones burning in hell, not the pilot.

Here is the million Dollar Question:

Saddam HAS killed tens of thousands of Women and Children with WMD. He has stated he would like to park a nuke in NYC. If we DON'T disarm him, and lets just say it boils down to war, because of some children of Human Shields... and NYC is nuked... and we can trace it back to Saddam...

Would you still say it was the right thing to do not bombing Iraq because we might killa few children whose parents were human shields?

If the answer is yes... then I ask whose more heartless and cruel?

You fucking hippies make me sick. You instantly assume that we're out to kill civillains and children when you know damn well that the United States does everything within it's power to prevent civillin casulties.

It's the same as if you drive around drunk and get your kid killed. You blew it, and your to blame. If you join the enemy forces, and your kid get's shot you deserve to die.

Besides the fact they should all be arrested for child endangerment the second the set foot on U.S. Soil.

Lexington_Steele · 2003-01-23, 05:26 PM

I think the real question here that we must ask ourselves is how many Iraqi civilians lives is an American soldier's worth? That is a very tough question for me and I find myself with no answer.

We could take a slower aproach that would lessen civilian casulties but would invariably put more soldiers lives at risk.

One half of me says that the lives of American Soldiers are of paramount importance, while the other half of me has trouble sacrificing many to save a few. One sees people in world as belonging to the brotherhood of man, the other sees it as Americans against the world. The two are wrestling with no clear winner.

So you think it's better to let Saddam slowly kill off his own people then us maybe killing a few in order to save even more?

You personify flawed logic.

Death is never a good thing period.

You sound like Brooke Shields talking about smoking.....

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.
