problem is, the United States has never played by those rules. Closest we got was bombing civilian centers in WWII, but even that was accompanied by much hand wringing and waffling, and self-delusion about military benefits.

The US isn't Rome or Carthage and we don't fight like they did.


Sure we did. And should again.

I asked dear old Dad "What if the Germans were in a school? Did you shoot at them?" Answer: "Yes, we shot at them wherever they were, schools, hospitals, churches, didn't matter. Then we called in artillery to level the places. If there was a soldier or someone carrying water for a German soldier, we killed them. They either surrendered or we killed them."

Oh, and Barak, don't even try to blow that [bleep] about "war is immoral". Not going to fly. War is terrible, but often necessary.

Terrible <> Immoral
