Fun fact! 'Civilian' and 'Terrorist' are two different things! Perhaps you should have realized that before making yourself look like a guy who thinks that all Afghans hate America.
Excuse me, but where did he ever say or even infer that all people from Afghanistan are terrorists. Never.

These attacks are precision weapons, that have comparatively little collateral damage. The drone strikes against al Queda leaders are therefore easily justified. Robhalford made it seem like civilian casualties in these strikes were unwarranted, and eddie provided a retort about the civilian casualties that Al Queda has caused and therefore the justification of drone strikes to take out these AQ leaders even if it means a few civilians get injured. Takeda and i also mentioned that AQ is using the general populace as meat shields, and that civilian casualties is almost inevitable because of their dirty tactics, however unfortunate.

You are making something out of nothing. Eddie made no such claims. It was an argument about the justification of drone strikes with possible civilian casualties to take out high ranking Al Queda leaders.
