I never said anything about carpet bombing, I quoted talk of striking a particular site. I said locate the enemy and destroy the enemy, not kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. In fact, you and Sniper are the only ones talking about the use of carpet bombing and/or indescriminate artillery strikes in this situation, and he qualified his statement. Currently it isn't necessary, and it's necessity has little to do with morality. If extermination ever does become necessary, then the decision to do it, or not, would be made based on morality. That decision will come down to the greater good, and since there are less of them than everyone else...

Now this all seems to have started with your misunderstanding of a post by Praxus. Several other people misunderstood too, I got it, but that's because I talk the same way. You were told that isn't what he meant, yet you've continued to carry that misunderstanding through the thread and even to other posters. The word "if" doesn't allways hide a malign agenda, usually it just means "if".

He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
