    Deliberately killing unarmed civilians is illegal even in war.

    Again, would be a war crime if done today. They didn't have smart bombs in 1945.

    But you ignored that point last time you tried to make it, so I'm sure you will again.

    I really do believe you would have given a medal to Stephen Green.

    It is not so much the terrorists are smart, it is the liberal western world has compassion to allow terrorist to live among them and attempt to give up terrorism and live in peace. That is futile as we can see over and over.

    Of course not. If the killing becomes legal, it would not be murder.

    Don't you just love a good war when one side deliberately laughs in the face of the other side by intentionally not following the rules of war? Good thing that's not happening now or we'd waste years, and trillions of dollars.

    All real Muslims hold their pagan religion more dearly than America and Western Civilization. So I would keep the heat on and encourage more to leave than come here and procreate.

    Another fantastic way to keep out undesirables is to cut off all welfare to immigrants---or at least the 1st 5 years. Like the old Homestead Act. You have to prove the land for 5 years before you can keep it. Or prove your worth and allegiance before getting any entitlements.

    So can I just give you a shovel and you can over there and smash the heads of as many babies as you want?

    100% true.

    Can you name a way to "encourage them to leave" that doesn't involve violating rights or civil liberties?

    Goodness, no. We will do it WW2 style and ground n pound.

    Reapers love a good urban breach :)

    Ok, you can have a rifle instead. Go ahead and murder children to your heart's content.

    Seriously dude, were you asleep during every Land of Land Warfare class?

    Killing civilians when you can't avoid it is one thing. You are really going to be an apologist for deliberately murdering innocent people?

    A drone strike targeted and killed five men meeting under a palm tree on Aug. 29, 2012. At least two were civilians. (L.A. Times link)

    Were you asleep in every war? Civilians die.

    Get over it. It's impossible to avoid. Especially when your buddies, ISIS, hide behind them.

    I got a 48 hour pass. Going to downtown London for a late night brewski. PEACE!

    And the civilians were the targets?

    - - - Updated - - -

    There's a big (*)(*)(*)(*)ing difference between civilians dying and deliberately murdering them.

    I wonder, were you one of Stephen Green's buddies? Did he let you get on that 14 year old before he shot and burned her?

    A rocket was shot into the ground they were standing on. The civilians were deliberately killed.

    The missile targeted a terrorist. The civilians were collateral damage. The terrorist was the deliberate target.

    If you can't understand the difference between the two, maybe you are too ignorant to be involved in thso debate.

    The difference between killing someone and murdering them is whether the killing is legal.

    Entitlements are not civil rights in my perspective. And think of all the women and children we can protect from being beaten and raped and honor-killed!

    Do you think this semantic bull(*)(*)(*)(*) is working on anyone?

    BTW, you just established the standard that ISIS is not murdering Christians, the Nazis did not murder Jews, and North Korea does not murder dissidents.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Depriving people access to entitlements because of their religion does violate their rights.

    Unfortunately it doesn't take much money. Hijack a gasoline semi-truck and a couple of pressure cooker bombs. Once trucks come into play major attacks become very real.

    Have you seen the size of the natural gas barges and ships that go into the cities of the Northeast? Rupture the tanks on one of those and it equates to a small nuclear bomb.

    Fortunately these lone wolf(wolves) attacks are very low grade because they are low intelligence and fairly spontaneous plus reliant upon firearms.

    There are other things I won't mention that could truly terrify Americans to being afraid to go in public.

    Deliberate means intentional. Deliberate does not mean desired.

    When you fire a rocket into a group of people you are making an intentional decision to kill the people in that group. We intentionally killed civilians when we dropped a bomb on Hiroshima and countless of times since.

    Killing civilians in war in not always illegal. If it was, we wouldn't have the phrase collateral damage.
