Exploding pagers injure hundreds in attack targeting Hezbollah members, Lebanese security source says

222. I don't think I'm being obtuse

Deliberately or otherwise.

Yes, we have our own terrorists here. I'm not sure how that relates to killing civilians in Lebanon by blowing up the pagers of terrorists.

I don't think you are ignorant, or DU in general. But some people have trouble discussing a legitimate dissenting opinion about this.

I'm saying, loudly, that it is not right to approve of and celebrate killing terrorists if civilians are killed as well, knowing it was expected civilians would be harmed. That's my point. I've tried hard to stick to it. I'd like people to think about how awful it would be, if it happened here. Walk down the wrong street, shop in the wrong store, and if you're too close to a terrorist your life is forfeited? Are we really okay with that kind of warfare anywhere, from any nation? It's the worse slippery slope I ever heard of.

But, so far, no one has explained how this tactic is good or legal, by whoever did it. All I hear is that I don't understand. I think it's more that I don't agree.
