Our Drones create "Coallateral Damage" but these killings are much more humane than...

[tecelote]

chemical weapons.

So, we're good.

1. Absolutely. And it's a fault of "collateral damage" anyway. They should know better than staying in

close proximity to US targets. Never mind it's for their own good.

2. Nobody said that...

BUT if I would rather my child died instantly than to suffer nerve gas first....beforehand...wouldn't you? No death ....their deaths were not wanted as collateral damage...but it wasn't purposely to make them suffer first the way this chemical attack was....

There are ways to die...and there are ways to die...not all death is equal. My grandfather with a bad heart died peacefully in his sleep...I am glad that he did...much better than to have died a painful excruciating and long one. We also prefer to hear someone died from smoke inhalation rather than to have been burnt alive in a fire. So no...not all deaths are equal.

4. You think drones always cause instant death?...

What about people that bleed out from gut wounds or lacerated femoral arteries?

[AverageJoe90]

5. That's true.

I mean, it's always unfortunate to hear when someone is caught in the crossfire of anything, whether it be a police shootout with domestic terrorists(Ruby Ridge), or drone strikes in Yemen, etc.

7. You assume that all those killed by drone strikes die instantly . . .

. . . but what about those who die slow, excruciating deaths while they are pinned under the rubble of a building that has collapsed from a drone strike?

8. I have read/heard that when a human soul, especially a child, is in harm's way and

is mortally wounded and dying...that there is a Merciful Angel that comes down and escorts the little soul to a higher place. I'm an agnostic, but please let that be so.

3. Never read any outcry here about those innocents lined up in row after row of dead bodies

[polichick]

6. Really - it's absurd for us to tell others what to do.

9. That's why Cornell West is calling Obama a WAR CRIMINAL because we are killing with drones
