Youre reasoning leaves an opening. Mine doesn't.

It's not.

There is a reason why the rule on military attacks in cemetaries is in place. I had hoped to have some sort of discussion on it.
Obviously, you're not interested.

I am discussing it. My reasoning of killing them in the cemetary may have some humor in it but I am also serious. Kill them where you find them. They don't mind shooting from a mosque, but we are not allowed to shoot back. Bullshit. If they are shooting from a hospital, kill them. If they are shooting from a school, kill them. Get it?

No. You're not "discussing" it.
At least not "discussing" it in any way that constitutes a "discussion" to me.
You keep saying that you support killing them, but you do nothing to discuss the ACTUAL RULE we are talking about.

In fact, you have laid out rather interesting commentary on why we should "kill them" (as you put it), and I don't disagree that terrorists probably deserve death. I don't have any real problem with your "kill them" philosophy.

It's the "kill them WHEREVER" philosophy that gives me pause, and makes me wonder why we should mimic the worst of what terrorism has to offer.

You are criminally insane.

Alias, I agree with taking out the enemy, but a what expense? Is killing the enemy worth taking out a child in the process? Would you be in full support of the idea if the military was going to drop a bomb in your town near a school? I don't believe in playing by the terrorist rules. I also don't believe in playing by the ultra-liberals rules. We have to make a distiction of when it is justified to do so and when it is not. It's hard to win a war when you can't shoot back at an enemy because he is hiding amongst civilians.
