> Every single sentence is factually wrong You don't believe ISIS would kill as many innocents as possible? It is practically their mission statement.

> You don't believe ISIS would kill as many innocents as possible? It is practically their mission statement. It's pointless to argue about statements containing words with highly subjective and arbitrary meanings like "innocents". Were the employees of the TV station the US bombed (with good precision and information!) in Serbia "innocent"? Of what crime were they guilty if not? The US apparently thought they weren't innocent. Who are we to claim the people brutally murdered by the IS are - to the IS - "innocent"? The IS kills Japanese citizens because their government is "guilty". The US kills women and children because their high-tech drones aren't good enough and their information seems to be bad. Or so they've been saying for years, while still consciously deciding to use these weapons to said effect. While both are morally wrong, the latter is also disingenuous and not worthy of a civilized nation. It's the consequence of trying both to enforce the "right of the strongest" and to attempt to claim a moral high ground.

    There is little moral difference in my mind between ISIS armies and Western armies attacking and killing people.

      The your worldview is so devoid from reality as to be useless.

    yes, US is less bad than ISIS. Still far from being good guys though

      Europe works with the US on these attacks, are they evil too?
