Whatever the solution is, it should not involved killing uninvolved

I agree. We should never intentionally plan to kill uninvolved, innocent
civilians, and I don't believe for a minute that any administration has
since Truman authorized the atomic bomb drops.

But warfare is not perfect. To do nothing only empowers the enemy.
Sometimes the risk of collateral damage has to be taken.

Whether it plans to kill them or not, I think the Bush Administration
doesn't give a damn about uninvolved, innocent civilians. Besides, we're
not at the point of bombing Somali villages yet and we apparently don't
have the assets to interdict Somali pirate ships.

Hey, DS, what's Obama goin' to do?

Round up all the right-wing useless old farts like you and send them
into battle. National defense and public service, rolled up into one.

That would be useful, which means he won't do it.

Why not just say, "I don't know." As no one knows much about him, that
would be a good answer.

You would be in good company, right along with Tom Brokaw!

One wonders why he didn't ask, after viewing the vid:
