New US Drone Strike "Double-Taps" Indicate Possible War Crimes

[OldDem2012]

32. The Allied general theory in WWII held that if you bombed the German civilian populace....

...long enough they would rise up, overthrow the Nazis, and sue for peace. Instead, they discovered the German civilian population grew to hate the daily bombing runs and made them even more determined to continue to fight. Survivors were more prone to want to avenge the loss of family members than they were to join a German resistance movement.

Proponents of bombing a civilian populace also supported the mass bombing of North Vietnam. They will claim that's the reason the North Vietnamese were willing to come to the peace table toward the end of the war, when in reality, Americans had grown tired of sending their best and brightest to early deaths, terrible wounds, mental illness, and drug addiction. Far from being a defeated nation, North Vietnam invaded the south soon after the peace agreement with the US, and took it over.

So, what did we do in our latest conflict in the Middle East? We bombed the heck out of populated centers in Iraq and Afghanistan and called the large number of civilian deaths, "collateral damage". So what was the result of our two latest wars in the Middle East? Most Iraqis hate us for what we've done to their country, with some becoming totally radicalized.

Undoubtedly, most Afghans feel the same way about us, and now we're trying to further radicalize Pakistan by our drones flying in their airspace and killing their people. Thank goodness the Pakistanis haven't become so radical as to launch one of their nuclear missiles at one of our Middle Eastern bases in retaliation for our drone strikes.

I'm at a loss to understand why we're resorting to secondary strikes. Nothing good will come of it.
