There's a big difference between killing someone suspected of being a terrorist, and indiscriminately gunning down a bunch of people. The latter is undeniably "murder", but the former, not so much. It's not ideal, but IMO it's not an atrocity.
I guess it all comes down which version of justice you favor: the one prescribed by law or the general consensus for what is acceptable.
- vdaniuk 13y agoKilling of a suspect is not an atrocity. Nice.
- alexqgb 13y agoActually, there's no difference at all when one involves the other. (See drone strikes / collateral damage / Hellfire missiles / Yemen). Also, killing people posing no immediate threat to the lives of others and with no due process is, almost by definition, an act of murder. Not war, murder.
