we do know some of these guys were still trying to settle scores through disinformation and may have used us. Who's to say someone else is not trying to weaken our standing with inflated casualty figures. Figures from Bosnia were all over the board. Even our Trade Center figures were not accurate in the beginning. And they were on the high side.

I don't know how many civilian casualties there were, and neither do you. They are an unfortunate occurrence in every war, and we were exceedingly careful to minimize them while targeting military targets. I do know that there were 3,000 innocent civilians deliberately targeted and murdered in the U.S. They were not unavoidable casualties caught in the crossfire; they were targets, and there would have been more if the attackers had been able to do so. They have also promised that there will be more if they have any say about it. Millions, if they can utilize WMD's. They want to destroy our entire society, which would be 300 million. Do you have any sense of proportion or self preservation?? Or, by chance, are you sympathetic to them? You sound so un-naturally ignorant and adamant that you appear to hold malice toward our country's populace and self interests. I am listening to tv news right now, which reports there are increasing signs that al Qaeda might be planning another attack. I'm sure you don't believe it could happen, but if it did, that it's our fault.
