Ted Re. Harry, why are you posting the obvious to me?

Because when David said in his post that the US military went to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties, you said "its mostly untrue. " On earlier posts you said because the US had civilian casualties in Iraq, you implied the US didn't care about civilian casualties. The US at least since WWII has cared a lot about civilian casualties, but some are unavoidable. As for military objectives, that would depend upon the objective, if it is important enough to sustain civilian casualties. Generally though, winning the war is more important than collateral damage.

Bin Laden could have avoided a lot of civilian damage if he would have attacked the tower overnight. He didn't, and I think it will cost him.
