I don't know how brain washed Khadr was, or if he was merely willingly following in the path of his father.
The question that is asked is a trap question because no matter how I answer it, the answer is going to be solidly called b$$#####.
If I say he should have surrendered when the the fire fight started or that he should have taken shelter and hid until the fighting is over would be equally ridiculed on one side, as the other side would ridicule me if I said, kill em all, its ok he was a brain washed robot and a complete victim.
So yeah, I answered the way that I did because it doesn't matter.
The question is almost on the same level as "Hey do you still beat your wife"

Thank you for answering. You're making my point for me, because I think any choice he made would end it BS one way or the other for him.
Please indulge me again - I'm not going to judge you based on what you answer (even if I did, there's no reason you should care); but I think it is extremely relevant when we are judging him for participating in training camps and building bombs on video. Perhaps I worded my question poorly, because I was really trying to understand what kind of autonomy people think Khadr had in his own life (at any point - getting away from the attack incident itself):
what action(s)/decision(s) could Khadr have made differently in his life leading up to the day of the attack?
this is a toss up for anyone - there are no penalties for wrong answers.
