355. It's not an easy call. If I could have prevented the 9/11 attacks

and subsequent deaths of 3,000 Americans by taking out bin Laden's training camps, but there was a risk of killing innocent civilians, I would have done it.

Better their innocent civilians become collateral damage than ours. And no, I do not value Afghan lives in the same way that I value American lives. That's why I typically root for the Americans when fighting starts.

It's just one heck of an imperfect world, isn't it?
