re: Clinton speech from 9/10/2001 - I could have gotten OBL but didn't

I just highly doubt 300 people would have died with OBL. We weren't going to wipe a town off the map when we have precision strikes. A handful of people probably die that are somewhat innocent. Does it suck? sure but id trade some people of another country for american lives and the shite show we have been in since 9/11. Im not blaming bill for 9/11 because it is hindsight but id probably pulled the trigger. It is a tough decision but 300 people is a whole lot less than those that were killed directly and indirectly by obl.

Think of it in terms of our privacy at home. Most people here are against government intrusions on privacy... like listening in on our conversations.
What if the government was given free-reign to listen in? Sure, they may catch more criminals and terrorists or whoever, but we are supposed to have principles. We will take our chances because we value freedom and privacy. They will have to find another way, and we will take the risk.
Same thing in regards to taking out Bin Laden at the expense of hundreds of people. Sure, you will kill Bin Laden, but as Americans, we are supposed to have principles and if that makes our lives a little less safe, then so be it.
