A lot of the people being killed today are children. Do you believe that the fact that some people carry out monstrous acts justifies killing children and people completely unrelated to those acts? How many children is it worth killing to kill one monster? Can you give me a number?
Let’s say you had a magic woodchipper that you could throw babies in to and if you threw enough babies in you would get to instantly kill one terrorist. How many babies would you throw in? Is it 1 to 1? Would you throw in 10? How about kids? If they’re like 4 or 5 years old, would you push them in to the chipper to get to kill a terrorist? This is what you’re advocating when you’re justifying cutting off food and water. It’s a horrible and painful death for children who have literally no idea why they’re dying and don’t even have the capacity to understand.
So what’s the number? How many children and babies is it justifiable to murder in order to kill a single terrorist?
