  Hey, another snarky valueless comment about war. Yes, hopefully someday we'll have world peace. It was horrible that 30 people died. War is ugly. However, you are distracting from helping to discuss some real issues that are solvable today. One example is that 2700 people will die from malaria today. Maybe we can save a million lives a year if we'd all work together on this?

    Your argument is that we focus on issues that are solvable today. I don't think that refraining from instructing an AC-130 operator to fire upon a hospital operated by Doctors without Borders is a change that requires more than a day of thought. Doing reconnaissance and reviewing intel before striking a civilian target probably doesn't take the world's most advanced fighting force more than a few hours.

      There are already rules against it. Please read the Geneva Convention. During war there are all kinds of accidents, bad judgment, etc. Friendly fire, for example, is a major cause of death. Now how about the hundreds of people who have died while we were having this conversation?

        I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I'm more than happy to continue this conversation with you but I would have to ask that you present your argument again.
