  I am not stupid and I’m capable of empathy. Really, do you need a reason to understand that bombing hospitals full of innocent civilians is a horrible thing?

  I also know enough recent history to have some inkling that widespread bombing might not be that effective at stopping a terrorist movies. Say, like US wars against Afghanistan and Iraq.

    A thing might be at the same time a horrible and a necessary thing.

      Consistently groups that do horrible, entirely excessive atrocities insist that they are necessary and vital. It does not mean that they are, and it’s definitely something you should not assume blindly, or at all.

      There needs a lot more than “might” to even begin to justify it. Then again, might alone is often used to get away with it.
