56. Personally, I wouldn't murder other people unless they created an imminent risk of death or serious

injury to myself, my family, my friends. And I don't think the US military should murder people unless the danger meets the same standard.

What is your red line that you think the US should murder hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent people? A few hundred people that might have been gassed, it might have been by the government, and it might have been authorized by the government.

But I'm just a "Peace Puritan" for not wanting to repeat the same mistakes the US made that cost the last few hundred thousand innocent lives.
