Serious discussion: How many civilian lives are worth stopping terrorism?
 

The Iraqi death toll is way over 100,000. I'm not sure how many in Afghanistan to date, but it's a handful. We just killed 31 or so in Somalia, and I'm sure many more are to follow.

I personally think 1 is too many, but also understand it's impossible to achieve this unachievable goal of ending terrorism.

What do you think is acceptable? How many people do you think are disposable in this insane quest for security?

And what makes it OK for us to kill WAY more people than the terrorists have ever killed, all in the name of fighting terror?

well considering that iraq had no connection to terrorism (re:no wmd's founds , no connection to bin laden )the 100,000 deaths in iraq is fueled by oil/greed

better them than us

thirty six?

I believe the answer is 17.

What was the name of that crazy ass movie?

17 does somehow 'feel' right

NONE

It's like trying to stop the Shriners.. it can't be done.

going to need the draft soon.
spread way too thin.
you'll see.
watch Bush tonight.
troop surge they call it.

I dunno, I just think 17 is the right answer. You may be thinking of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (answer was 42 in that movie).
