You don't get to make up definitions of well-established words and concepts to fit the narrative you're trying to sell.
If someone blew up a hospital here we would demand retaliation whatever you want to call it.

Who is "someone"? Why did they blow up the hospital? Would we be justified in retaliating against little girls at a concert? Would a Canadian be able to justifiably take it upon themselves to avenge the dead in the hospital?



If someone kills your mother in a car crash *accidentally*, are you going to be calling for retaliation? That's how it works with your worldview?


It's always amazing, isn't it, that the terrorists don't find ways to blow up the politicians that make the decisions to go to war, but instead target innocent people.

We killed little kids when we bombed the hospital.

We do the same.

Just because we pretend we did all we could to not slaughter thousands if innocent civilians makes it no better. We drop bombs from the air because if we send in troops people are going to start having second thoughts.
