Re: <> Devil's advocate

We are not anonymous, our troops are identified.

Yeah... When the mossad kills people or the CIA topples democratically elected governments, they always wear uniforms. Those long range intelligent weapons are also all in marked. They just have to get a glimpse of the markings on it before it blows them up.

We usually warn, or fight as part of a declared war with an identified enemy

So do they. They declared war on western society and they always claim responsibility. They are also outside of even their societies so what does media have to do with it?

Are you equating the Fanatics with the less than democratic nations they usually come from? Careful, some of those are our very good friends...We would not be friends with terrorist nations now would we?

Your remaining comments are irrelevant, since you are comparing what I support with the last century of a couple of country's history.

Read that one again and see if it makes any sense.

However yes, overall I believe that democracy, proportionate directed force

Except that we don't care about democracy. Our (the US's) current alliances clearly demonstrate that.

and defined objectives are massively more a feature of Western and Israeli military action than Islamist terror strikes.

You think that they do not have well defined objectives? What?
