So when video of blown up Syrian children,...

[SHRED]

...via the cruise missile strikes to come, start hitting the airwaves then what?

Denial? No one will care? What?

1. We'll have to attack ourselves!!

[morningfog]

2. It will be a war crime. I hope no one strikes us.

[enlightenment]

3. They won't hit the airwaves, SHRED -

only the alternative media sources, and shared only with "Warning: Graphic violence depicted" headers for the sensitive.

Good thing that whole families get blown up - it would be just awful if a sensitive parent had to spend the afternoon trying to pick up the bit and pieces of their child. Better that the neighbors have to try and separate the parent bits from the child bits. Unless the neighbors are sensitive - that sucks, of course.

For them, that is. Not so much for us, since we're not there and we don't have to look at the pictures. We can just talk about how all those "precision strikes at military targets" are sure showing that evil dictator a thing or too . . . without having to worry about lost American lives, of course.

4. Its not really war, so it doesn't matter.

At least thats what I'm being told on a progressive message board.

5. Well that will be totally different than video of...

Syrian children being gassed. So I predict that if we see such a video there will be denial. We will just shrug, turn our heads and avoid talking about such an atrocity. We have to kill children in order to save children.

6. I will be just as sad as I was seeing the videos of the syrian children dying from gas attacks

Sadly theres nothing thats gonna come out of syria good as far as the death of civilians. I guess its a matter of which your willing to tolerate. Personally I can't tolerate either but I'd rather the blood of children not be on my countries hands any more than it is

7. Same as when drones kill innocents

The drone-people say "It's totally different--we weren't aiming at them!" (Because that makes them less dead, or feel better about being dead, or something.)

[malaise]

8. They will attempt to destroy the person

leaking the photos. There will be no discussion on the collateral damage because little brown babies aren't very important when there are profits to be made killing people.

[FarCenter]

9. It will be done with humane high explosives and shrapnel

You won't see children dying over several days from septicemia due to a perforated gut in an environment where medical care is iffy to non-existent.

[Javaman]

10. some sensational video, trumped up story involving a celebrity will be spewed out to the public

to distract us. And fill us all with a false sense of outrage and indignation to keep us busy while the rest of the world shakes their heads in wonder at us.

11. Freedom isn't free!

If the USA causes Syrian collateral damage (aka demise of non-military targets) in an air strike or surgical attack I just hope that they appreciate the military expenditures the USA is making in order to free them.

If they remember anything at all in their last few moments it is that the USA cares about them dearly.
