Keukasmallies Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34184856 It seems to me that it's legal to kill your own citizens when your own citizens are killing your own citizens.
KD in CA Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 When your citizens go to Syria to join up with ISIS, I don't really see much of a legal or moral dilemma.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 No let's wait for them to kill our citizens first
Nanker Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Obama's been killing Americas for some time now with his drones. Hasn't phased him a bit.
DC Tom Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I'm not sure Tokyo Rose or Lord Haw-Haw weren't legitimate targets. Or a better analogy: the significant number of German-Americans who left and fought for Germany in WWI. Hell, if Jane Fonda had accidentally caught a cluster munition while visiting an active-duty flak battery, it wouldn't have been completely out of line.

Jane would have just been another of many many civilian casualities our bombers murdered during that most unjust war. Talk about terrorism!

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 You're trying way too hard today. Lame. Stop using my insults. And that was not trying hard at all.
Deranged Rhino Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Lame. Stop using my insults. And that was not trying hard at all. Clearly. That's your brain's motto, "Not trying hard at all since 1975".
DC Tom Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Lame. Stop using my insults. And that was not trying hard at all. That wasn't an insult. Your act reeks of desperation today. Dial it back a little.
truth on hold Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) It's funny the repubes who support extrajudicial use of drones, are also the ones saying we need guns to protect us from the government doing that very thing. Edited September 8, 2015 by JTSP
B-Man Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 It's funny the repubes who support extrajudicial use of drones, are also the ones saying we need guns to protect us from the government doing that very thing. link ?
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 That wasn't an insult. Your act reeks of desperation today. Dial it back a little. Nice try chum, desperation would resemble your out of control hysterics when caught obfuscating.
DC Tom Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 link ? Given that we're talking about a military use of drones, their use would be required to be extra-judicial by international law. JTSP's just being his usual ignorant !@#$wit self. Nice try chum, desperation would resemble your out of control hysterics when caught obfuscating. What part of this statement has any basis in reality? What color is the sky in your world?
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Obama's been killing Americas for some time now with his drones. Hasn't phased him a bit. Let me guess. You own stock in Alcoa. Go easy on the Reynolds Wrap, you don't want to make yourself to big on the drone's radar.

3rdnlng Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 No let's wait for them to kill our citizens first I guess you can't lose in either scenario, eh? Laughs either way.
