Malala is Wrong About Drones

Trki, Kody, Cheaty do

1. No problems with the sound over here in france
   and yes, i think yur right that drones are very effective in killing islamic savages.
2. +mechwurm I believe it is your computer. Try getting headphones or speakers outside of your computer. Some sort of audio output device separate from it.
3. is the volume issue something to do with youtube itself?  they've somehow screwed up the comment system...
4. The sound is so quiet.
5. Japan was a single empire, when the emperor decided to give up they gave up. You can not compare irregular warfare with that. you, as an American, should now that. It's the single reason America was able to defeat the British.
6. How are you not understanding? The intent matters as I have said. There is a difference between stopping people beent on world domination and race cleansing and actually doing these things. The tactics are what matters when it comes to high moral ground. This is not at all a complex issue, yet for whatever reason you seem unable to comprehend these ideas.
7. So then it wouldn't have mattered if the Nazi's had won WWII in your view? Since both sides were essentially the same. I wonder what Hitler's version of the Marshall Plan would have looked like.
8. Win at all costs was cleary the motives for both. I was not trying to weasel out of anything. I just dont enjoy redundant conversation. Keeping the japs in work camps and sending them home with 25 bucks and a bus ticket was quite harsh. ww2 was when they first demonstrated that their moral compass was either fading or non existent. The reason the bombs were made was because we wanted to have them before germany. Not so we can end a war early. It does not matter. Today, human rights are fiction.
9. I've read your comments and you stated earlier that the USA lost the moral high ground when they dropped two atom bombs on Japan. So I will restate the question that you weaseled out of. Do you feel that there was a difference in the motives of the USA and the motives of it's enemies?
10. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki we didn't have a whole lot of problems with Japanese kamikaze pilots did we? Same thing with these Muslims. If we kill enough of them they'll get the picture too.
11. Again you're reading things I didn't write, i don't justify Islamic terrorism, I merely explain why drone-attacks create more Islamic terrorists, and is thus counter-productive to the reason for those drone-attacks: eradicating Islamic terrorism.
12. If you read the comments I have made, you will have the answer to that question. The Geneva convention was a wonderful thing until a certain country shit all over it.
13. Distinction without a difference since both essentially state that Islamic terrorism is justified.
14. Okay so if the motive for taking a life DOES make a difference to you and you think that the US is no better than it's enemies then I guess the you must believe that there was no difference in the motives of Nazi Germany and the United States in WWII. Is this your position?
15. Wrong: it implies future many supporters of islamic terrorism will be a direct result of American foreign policy, a subtle but important difference, since it means i ultimately do not " blame terrorism on the drone campaign" but on Osama bin laden, the war in afghanistan against the russians and american support of those afghan veterans.
16. I'm sorry, Bloom, but I really can't agree with you on this.
17. No.
18. I'll pose the same question to you that I did to yachtcontrol1. Is the motive for taking a human life irrelevant to you?
19. Your statement "Think about this, a foreign drone just blew up your entire family, what would you do?" implies that Islamic violence is a direct result of American foreign policy. So I'm asking why don't you apply that same logic to other atrocities coming out of the Islamic world like honor rape for example.
20. You're not making any sense right now, it's as if you think of a generic answer on every thing i say without actually reading it. I hope you're troll, but in the off-chance your not i'd suggest going back to school.
