So you don't draw a distinction between between bombing cities to wage a world war in the 40's that was approved by congress and drone attacks against individuals in sovereign countries that inflict mass casualties?

Before you answer, take off your "frick yeah!" hat and try to think about the Constitution and the principles this country was founded on. TIA.

Ok, let's take the Constitution. Guess what - it doesn't apply to foreign people in foreign lands.

Sovereign countries? Hate to break it to you, but Germany and Japan were sovereign, too.

And as far as distinctions go, yes, I do. Carpet bombing cities is far, far worse. Civilian casualties in the cities I listed exceeded total American casualties in WW2.

For both drone strikes and carpet bombing, here is a case to be made for "Hey, it's war, shite happens," but the difference to dead on the ground is academic, at best.

So, you believe that the intentional mass-murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians by the U.S. like at Hiroshima and Nagasaki (aka WAR CRIMES/CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY) are in line with the U.S. Constitution and the principles this country was founded on?

Sorry, but that's pretty warped.

A war crime is a war crime. It's just that americans believe they are "exceptional", so they hang the leaders of their enemies til dead for war crimes....... while ignoring and rationalizing and lying about their own.
