One of the reasons why the Taliban are bestial and hateful are because they lack this civility. They do not debate and question before they go ahead an kill. Compare that with the extensive self doubt and introspection the British have had to go through before deciding to go a ahead and kill? Makes me emotional and weepy to think of the tension a helicopter pilot has - finger on trigger - waiting for the debate to get over. What a world of a difference eh? shiv
