"If you don't help make drones more accurate, you're the reason for collateralized murder".
Or, you could like, just stop droning innocent people to death. Not saying we all have to agree, but just that factually speaking - it's within the realm of possibilities. And for that reason it's a false dichotomy.
- airstrike 9y agoYou’re saying that as if droning was specifically meant to target innocent people, when that’s exactly what they’re trying to avoid.
- staplers 9y agothat’s exactly what they’re trying to avoid. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Circular argumentation
- Nimitz14 9y agoNo. It's not. Learn logic.
- jstanley 9y agoBut how many of the "non-innocent" people who have been killed in drone strikes had actually been found guilty in a fair trial? And of those who had been, how many were sentenced to death?
- airstrike 9y agoIt’s war, not a court. Society hasn’t legislated that those who attack this country should be presumed innocent and convicted only after due process. This is true in any country.

I never stated anything about blame, nor do I think that choosing to not participate makes someone culpable. > Or, you could like, just stop droning innocent people to death. I have not "droned" anyone. > Not saying we all have to agree, but just that factually speaking - it's within the realm of possibilities. It's possible, sure, but certainly not probable. Drone strikes are increasing, not decreasing. I don't think you're thinking about this very pragmatically.
