Projecting much? You aren't showing much empathy to anyone that doesn't share your political views. The CIA under Bush tortured folks, and the CIA under Obama killed American citizens with drones.
- fargolime 12y agoThat's the old "if you're intolerant against intolerance, you're intolerant yourself" argument. A good person is against all forms of evil, and can't be made "bad" that way. I don't have a problem with people being killed by drones, American citizens or no, when that's the best viable way to prevent greater violence.
- jmccree 12y agoDo you have a problem with people being tortured, American citizens or no, when that's the best viable way to prevent greater violence?
- fargolime 12y agoNo I don't. It's "good" to support the best viable way to prevent greater violence, even if that way involves violence. These things are clear: torture is rarely the best viable way, and it's been used unnecessarily.
