So someone else does it to us, it's a bad thing, but when we do it to someone else it's okay?
Well, yeah. This isn't a school yard playground where everyone gets to touch the ball or a turn on the swing.
Dropping two atomic bombs were American. To be fair, I guess we could pass around the nukes and make us all equal that way everyone could drop nukes. Of course, preserving a way of life demands the kind of power it takes to make the rules so that's probably not a good idea.
But we aren't like the rest of the world. We wouldn't harbor terrorist organizations that are launching attacks on Canada or Mexico. If we did, we would be equally as depraved and out of control of our own territory as they. As such, we would more or less welcome the consequences of it.
By the way, how can you have the word "tactical" in your name without understanding the idea that it means creating upperhands and advantages? Not chasing your enemies and allowing them to headquarter in order to recover and re-emerge is not sound in terms of tactics. Eventually, that has to stop. The only successful way out of Afghanistan is after we've made this enemy unable to threaten the government.
