In reply to the discussion: Syrian Army, Backed By Jets, Launches Assault On Homs [View all]joshcryer
(62,269 posts)25. I'm sure you approve of US drone attacks against terrorists.
Since it murders so many.
Hint (big one): for every one killed 2 or more are created. Think about it, your home country, your loved ones, they're fighting for what they believe in, you think they're a bit anal or a bit radical. They then get killed. Do you decide that they fought for nothing? In most cases, no, you say, "huh, that person I knew, I think they were on the right side and were fighting for a just cause."
This is the radicalization of war. It happens time and time again.

If you trust Russia Today more than the Center for American Progress then we disagree
