Come on what is your position?
My position with respect to this thread?
1. Indiscriminate attacks on non-combatants are morally and legally wrong no matter who does it.
2. Deliberate attacks on non-combatants are morally and legally wrong no matter who does it.
3. Collateral damage while attacking a legitimate military target for the purpose of defending your own population is morally and legally defensible, if tragic and regrettable.
4. Responsibility for the prevention of civilian, non-combatant deaths rests with all parties to the conflict.
5. Applying two different sets of rules to two different populations based on their ethnicity, culture, religion, DNA, nationality, political position is morally reprehensible.
Its really the last one that I was pointing out. When someone says and attempts to justify a concept such as: "by any means necessary" but applies that concept to only one side in the conflict -- its hypocrisy. When someone labels a civilian conducting non-combat activities (such as making his livelihood in a bar) a "good target" but applies that concept to only side in the conflict -- its hypocrisy.
