"political purpose" in this case meaning deterring people from attacking us.
I'm no fan of how Bush handled things but painting flying airliners filled with civilians into skyscrapers filled with civilians and hitting government and infrastructure targets after publicly declaring war with the same brush is ridiculous.
- hellbanner 11y agoWhy is attacking civilians & government after declaring war "ridiculous" for the aggressor? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?
- clavalle 11y agoYou misunderstood. Attacking civilians is bad in any context and strictly illegal. Declaring war then attacking government, military, and critical infrastructure after such a declaration is quite different from flying a plane of civilians into a civilian building out of nowhere. Equating the two is as disingenuous as comparing a loan shark beating someone for non-payment to someone getting evicted.
