| No one one likes collateral damage. All I said was despite all pre-caution taken to avoid that, it sometimes happens. Keeping civilians safe from harm must be balanced against eliminating a greater evil. And sometimes dispatching an evil-doer will result in harm to non-combatants. If evil is not eliminated, civilians will in fact suffer greater injury and loss of life. In war, humane sentiment has traditionally been held to come secondary to victory for such as Karl Von Clausewitz wrote, is the Object Of War. |
