Imagine the outcry if (say) Germany started killing foreigners on foreign soil. But for some reason it's OK for America to do exactly the same thing?
b_b, made a similar point a while back regarding how braggadocios we are regarding the killing of high ranking Al Qaida members. "We shot and killed the #2 man in the terrorist network", is akin to them saying they shot and killed our VP. To them
we are the terrorist network. Point being, there is a complete lack of civility when reporting/talking about these things. It's one thing to kill with impunity, it's another thing all together to then brag about it.
