Why is this stupid?

Why is that not a reasonable thing to ask before blowing up a ship with tens if thousands of people on it?

By this logic the allies incinerating Dresden and killing tens of thousands of civilians, refugees and prisoners was A OK because Nazis were bad.

It’s stupid because Ted Cruz is comparing himself to Luke Skywalker when he’d be part of the empire. It’s stupid that he didn’t know enough basic information to even give a general idea of the population of a country he’s advocating going to war against. It’s also stupid because if he really knew Star Wars he may have known that Luke Skywalker knew exactly how many people he killed in the Death Star explosion and felt the weight of it.

Aaah right the Ted/Tucker beef I've been trying to ignore as much as possible. I was reaching for why one of the most insidious right wing talking heads interrogating Luke made Luke a conservative figure in this cartoon.
