1) this is RWE - repeat as necessary
2) I'm not taunting, I'm asking - politely I might add.
3) repeat your question - I'm often away from the board for days and I even miss posts
Rap
It's a real question. I've been hoping for an answer which is why I keep asking.

And I'm still waiting for an answer. Sigh.

And you will continue waiting, until I get a legitimate question.

How do (interrogative) you (subject) justify (verb) the US killing (object) of civilians if (conjunction) it is just as bad as when Jihadists kill civilians ? (question mark)
Seems like a legitimate question to me. And I really want to know. You seem to think it's fine. Tell me how you conclude that.

Why is Auraptor's answer so darn important to you?

The first time may have been considered polite, the successive repeats perhaps not IMHO.

Do you still say they are more evil ?
So you are holding the US responsible for all deaths caused by sectarian strife?

Hmmmm, perhaps that is the case for others as well no?

Sigh. That's why I keep asking. Sooner or later he'll get it. That's the kind and gentle interpretation of not getting an answer. Which I am trying to remedy - by simplifying, clarifying and reposting.
As to why it's so important - if you can ask me then I can ask him. It works that way all around.

Auraptor refuses to answer the question because it is the nub of the logical contradiction that underlies his opinion. If he acknowledged that deaths caused by Americans are just as bad as deaths caused by others, he would have to acknowledge that Americans might not be the heroes that he envisions. It's simple, really, and only an idiot could fail to see it.

"it is the nub of the logical contradiction that underlies his opinion"
It looks that way to me too, which is why I'm so curious. If I could find out how he keeps those ideas together in his head I'd feel I had achieved some significant, meaningful understanding of Rap and where he's coming from. Which is why I'm really, really hoping he'll answer - either post or PM.

I don't justify the killing of civilians, and that is why your question is false. I do, however, acknowledge that collateral damage is a unavoidable consequence of war. Where you and I differ is that I see how the US tries at great lengths to AVOID civilian casualities, while the terrorist do every thing they can to murder as many innocents as possible. I'm fairly certain that we've gone over this before,and can't help but wonder why we're going over it again.
And yes SIGNYM, he US soldiers ARE the heroes I envison them to be, in great contrast to the purely evil Islamo-Facsist/Jihadist.

But Rue wasn't asking about motivation, justification, or mitigation. Rue was asking a simple question, which you seem to have difficulty answering in a straightforward way.
