| 19. I don't think we intentionally bomb villages. Absolutely not. |
|
I think we work hard to avoid that. But, our own hubris and might-makes-right attitude prevents us from seeing the damage we do. I think we cause more harm than good. I am just not convinced that all or even most of these people would be against us if we weren't bombing their neighbors.
Dead civilians at the hands of a pilotless drone is an easy recruitment tool. And, what we are doing is nothing new. Years into it, can you show that these tactics have had any positive effect for us?
