    I never said it was a nice thing...but it is WAR. You shouldn't be surprised. In their eyes: Better him than us.

    Are you saying anything is justified in War... If that is the case, then why is suicide bombing frowned upon? since this is the only way that a civilian could possibly do damage to the soldiers...



    *NOTE: I DO NOT SUPPORT SUICIDE BOMBINGS.

    How did bombings come into this? I never said everything is justified in war. BUT, shooting and killing a man who was just shooting at you with in the last few minutes is not something un-expected. That is only a short clip of the real story. There are many video clips, straight from the news channels like FOX and CNN that show helicopters taking out men on the ground etc. I mean, come on. If you saw the whole video of that, he was not a civilian. I have seen that video before.

    Fair enough, I just thought you were saying anything goes in war... just wanted to make that clear.

    Of course "anything goes" doesn't apply to war.

    There are set rules, it's called Just War Theory.

    One of those rules happens to be discrimination, which suicide bombers do not adhere to.

    Adeel, don't get me wrongl. I hate to see videos like this. War is a very gruesome thing. But all I meant by my post is that the guy who began this thread shouldn't be surprised. I mean, it is War.


    Nomar is exaclty right. I completely agree what he said. There are set rules in the engagement of war. Like the Geneva Convention, which is just treatment of prisoners.
