What can you live with? Part 2

Would you rather live with the consequences of your actions or your inactions?

Some explanation for this question.

This question is the result of a scene from the AMC show 'Rubicon' where a team of intelligence analysts had to make a decision to take out a known terrorist with a missile fired from a drone. The decision had to be made in a short time with limited intelligence and based on the probability that the terrorist would be at a specific location. Another variable that was considered that made it more difficult was the fact that there would most likely be collateral damage a/k/a civilian casualties.

After all the discussion and the decision was made one of the analysts stated something to the effect that 'I like to live with the consequences of my actions.'
