Keukasmallies Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34184856 It seems to me that it's legal to kill your own citizens when your own citizens are killing your own citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 When your citizens go to Syria to join up with ISIS, I don't really see much of a legal or moral dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I'm not sure Tokyo Rose or Lord Haw-Haw weren't legitimate targets. Or a better analogy: the significant number of German-Americans who left and fought for Germany in WWI. Hell, if Jane Fonda had accidentally caught a cluster munition while visiting an active-duty flak battery, it wouldn't have been completely out of line.

Jane would have just been another of many many civilian casualities our bombers murdered during that most unjust war. Talk about terrorism!

Deranged Rhino Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Lame. Stop using my insults. And that was not trying hard at all. Clearly. That's your brain's motto, "Not trying hard at all since 1975". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) It's funny the repubes who support extrajudicial use of drones, are also the ones saying we need guns to protect us from the government doing that very thing.

DC Tom Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 link ? Given that we're talking about a military use of drones, their use would be required to be extra-judicial by international law. JTSP's just being his usual ignorant !@#$wit self. Nice try chum, desperation would resemble your out of control hysterics when caught obfuscating. What part of this statement has any basis in reality? What color is the sky in your world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Obama's been killing Americas for some time now with his drones. Hasn't phased him a bit. Let me guess.
