If someone shot a Hellfire missile at your house by accident...

...and killed your family by mistake what would you do?

Don

Edit: CNN just called it a Hellfire missile instead of a Sidewinder so I fixed the subject line.

1. Damn good question!
I've asked some Repukes who I know who supported the decision to invade Iraq similar questions. I never get much of an answer and the answers I do get are usually along the lines of "at least they weren't killed by Saddam". :wtf:

6. Oh, I think I'd probably
organize a demonstration of support around the village to thank the invisible aggressors for spreading their freedom and democracy. I might pose in front of the cameras to show my pride at making such a sacrifice for the nobel cause.:sarcasm: SG

7. Family? You mean the numerous #2 man(men, women, children)?
The killers were only "doing their duty". Much as the SS did in Lidice and countless other villages in their fight against "terrorists".

8. first. I wouldn't asssume it was a mistake, or even care if it was
then I'd spend the rest of my life working to bring those responsible and those who aided the killers to justice.
