What's good for the goose. . .


The Vache Folle said the following in a recent post about our missile strike on terrorists in Pakistan. I thought it was worth quoting.

Let’s say the government of Pakistan suspects that some bad guys, suspected terrorists, are holed up in a motel in Tampa. Let’s say that the government of Pakistan blows up the motel and kills some of the bad guys along with some of the rest of the motel’s guests who are not suspected of anything by anyone. That would be OK, right? We are allies, after all, and collateral damage just can’t be helped if you want to get those terrorists. Is there a flaw in my moral reasoning?
Thanks Vache Folle. You are a mad cow, a mad, anarchist cow, and I'm totally groovin' on that.

(And in case you're stumped by his rhetorical final question, the answer is no - there is no flaw in his reasoning. Not, that is, if you think the U.S.'s strike into Pakistani territory was justified.)
