You try hardest to avoid killing innocent Afghans and when the
results of this
are another atrocity - maybe involving a nuclear bomb - against
U.S. civilians and the transformation of the U.S. into a police
state,
you can be proud of having saved innocent lives and ponder your
purity while sitting in jail after having been put away for your
leftist
activities.
