    When deciding to start a war, the overall CCR rate is the appropriate statistic. It doesn’t matter to the civilians which side kills them, just that they’re dead because we started a war.

    So when I explicitly noted that I was making that distinction and that the broader moral issue of being responsible for deaths as part of starting the war was a different discussion, you ignored it. Great. Good to know you wasted both of our time with this. Fucking fantastic.

      " Great. Good to know you wasted both of our time with this. Fucking fantastic."

      Nah it was just you spinning in circles trying to justify and rationalize your morally bankrupt bullshit. And I for own appreciate the other person taking the time to debunk it for us readers.

        “Morally bankrupt bullshit”

        Is that what you call noting that US military operations are more careful than the current bullshit undertaken by Israel?

        I explicitly noted I wasn’t addressing the overall morality of the Iraq War or the responsibility for the deaths caused by the war as a whole - only that in military operations, the US is more careful about civilian casualties than israel’s current farce. Would you care to elaborate on how that’s “morally bankrupt bullshit”?
