  • I think this would be a good idea, as long as we know for sure that no innocent people will be at the sight of the bombing. Thats very hard to do but I think it is humane to atleast try to limit the amount of innocent people that would be killed. 

  • I think we must do everything in our power that is necessary to take down enemy forces that are causing so much terror in the middle east. I do however think that we must be careful not to injure any civillian or non enemy persons.
