Latest Drone Strike and Civilian Casualties...
I generally detest drone warfare (and traditional bombing with manned aircraft) due to the civilian casualties it produces.
However, it is very likely that if the car bomb they destroyed had been allowed to go off at the airport, the civilian casualties would have been much higher.
The traditional "trolley problem" lives on.

Republicans: "The world will never trust us again"
Also Republicans: "Biden should have reneged on the peace agreement we just signed with the Taliban months ago!"
