“This was intentional,” said U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib. “You don’t accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, ‘It was a mistake.’”

    Would I bomb a proven terrorist who is known to be plotting the deaths of more children even if he’s surrounded by his family? Yes, unfortunately.

    This isn’t a “who likes killing children” competition. It’s a really shitty trolley dilemma where inaction means letting killers continue to plot their next campaign targeting women and children

    If leaving them alone meant you didn’t know if their next target was your kids school, or your wife’s place of work, or your parents retirement village, would you press the button on them or not?

      What if he was surrounded by your family? Would you still do it then?

      That’s the price that you are asking others to pay for your war
