14. Which is why people shouldn't post stupid

Things meant to derail.

To your point. It is wrong to kill anyone. It is wrong to kill an aid worker too. They do it because they are engaged in asymmetrical war. We can level cities to achieve our political goals. They have to resort to highly propagandized murders. The end is the same: dead innocents.

We both use civilian lives to achieve our political ambitions. It is sad that in 2014 humans haven't learned of better ways.
