The show is on HBO - we expect great shows from HBO. Hopefully the show will tackle such issues as NDAA, humanitarian-rights violating drone attacks, and presidential approved "kill lists" and assassinations.

Each of those things you mention are symptoms of a crippling cultural disease. A free and independent media that addresses those issues is critical in treating disease. The uninformed will never make good decisions.

Sorry, PIA, but to me your posting sums up much of what is immoral and wrong-headed about the current paroxysm of hysteria that is consuming the USA.

First, do you actually have enemies, or are they a fabrication of the War Profiteers and the Brainwashing Machine?

Next, making the presumption that you do, in fact, have some enemies, who and what are they, and what sort of threat do they, in fact, constitute? (hint: you should have better proof than the fabrications of the Brainwashing Machine)

What other options do you have? Is it true that all these other options are worse than killing them?

What about all the other people you are killing? Does killing them make you as bad, or worse, than the "terrorists" you are so determined to kill?

Killing these people does not seem bad -- it is bad.

The United States has enemies.
If they would kindly put up a flag of truce I believe we would be willing to call off the dogs of war.
It's not as though either side is going to "win" the struggle and it's not as though the United States can't find other more worthy enemies to satisfy the lust for blood and treasure that lies in the heart of every American weapons manufacturer.


Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

The War Profiteers would hardly be willing!! They would shoot down any flag of truce that went up !

Do you think enemies are that easy to find!!

After the Soviet Union fell, the War Profiteers had to scurry around frantically for a decade before they were able to manufacture the present paltry "threat"!!
