"Or maybe you can find some other way to explain our policy which approves firing missiles into crowds of civilians in order to kill one or more terrorists who "may" be present? "

are usually present.
But again you miss the point. If someone blows up kids in a bus, or in a school or beheads truck drivers, the violent reaction to those events even if there is collateral damage is justifiable. What are folks who have 300 kids killed in a school or a pizza parlor blown apart to do? Allow the degenerates to take over??
Ed,
Do you really think folks who react to terror with violence against the perps take any delight in the civilian casualties on the other side? I guess some do, but largely not. If you could push a button and kill the terrorist in the crowd, but not harm anyone that would be an improvement. Please invent that device for us or get the terrorists to cease and desist if you are interestd in those civilians as well as the vics.

It isn't our policy to fire missiles in to a crowd of civilians when one terrorist may be present.
