If the two are apples and oranges, what makes them so different from each other? Why is one an apple and the other an orange? edit so I don't derail my own OP.

1. Must be some big difference otherwise the Obama-ite's wouldn't be so
defensive and legalizing all over DU and other places

2. What is the difference between targeting a military camp or
the economic driving force that pays for it?

4. I would say both plan and train people to destroy others lives.
Should I feel bad if either one is capped. Perhaps, but I don't really. Both are scum that should be eradicated. The only real difference I see is that one wants to kill you immediately while the other wants to enslave you before you die.

6. Just so we are both on the same page, will you please define
"the economic driving force." Are talking about the elites only, the poor people that work them, both, or something else?

7. I would say mostly the elites that make the money of destruction.
Would you feel sorry if the CEO of Bombmaker USA Inc. was capped? I wouldn't. Would I feel sorry if the guy working his factory got capped. Most likely not.

9. If a CEO was supporting the war, then that CEO would be a legitimate
target for Al-Qaeda in my opinion. The CEOs employees I would want to examine on a case by case basis.

5. I have always felt the notion that one can't target leaders
as opposed to ordinary grunts to be ridiculous, but that has been a historical distinction. As a matter of law, it probably is different but I don't agree with that difference.

10. I agree, that is ridiculous. The leaders should be the first targets. nt
