How are preemptive military strikes against Iran materialy different

Surely you can't be serious.

In case you didn't notice, the WTC was filled with *civilians* on
9/11. Even if we *do* carry out a preemptive strike on Iran, we will
be targeting military installations and other strategic military
sites. We will not be indiscriminately killing innocent civilians.

That's how it's materially different.
Oh, sure - the same way we have not been killing innocent civilians in
Iraq and Afghanistan?
Think about it. There were four planes down on 9/11. One crashed into
a field. Two were flown into the towers. That was indiscriminately
killing innocent civilians, and according to JB, that was a not okay.
And, he/she is right about that.

But the third plane was flown into the Pentagon. I guess that one must
have been excusable since it only targeted a military institution.

The Pentagon was *absolutely* a military target. That wasn't the
example you used. You only referred to the WTC.

Yes, when discuccsing a different aspect of the issue. In this case, we
are discussing military targets, though. You are okay with the attack on
the Pentagon, then?




I love it. You're actually trying to *justify* the attacks of 9/11.

And you are either a liar or an idiot, or both.

Point to one statement of justification that I have made ... just one.

You are the one who justified attacks on military targets. Therefore, since
the Pentagon was a military target, the attack must have been okay in your
eyes.
