Re: Real American Heros
Yeah well going into it we know for a fact we will be "accidentally" killing innocents. No we don't want to kill them but we know it's going to happen when we pull the trigger. The end result is what we expect would happen. The only realistic "package deal" we can go for includes the killing of innocents, so it is the package we intend to get; therefore we intend to kill a certain number of innocents.
If you drive your car down the road at high speed and end up mowing some guy down, you may not have been intending that to happen but you're just as guilty.
The United States embraces the utilitarian philosophy that we should kill the few to save the many. The conclusion is inescapable.
