No need to get personal Thomas. Did I upset you? I think it's awful when Palestinians civilians get killed. I think it's awful when Iraqi civilians get killed. The facts are that the US has spent billions developing weapons that are smart and can minimize civilian loss. The Israelis thinking similarly got a high Hamas terrorist yesterday without one civilian casualty. Why is that you have such a hard time answering that you abhor Israeli civilian losses. Did you abhor 9/11 losses? It's a humanitarian issue. You really don't see the difference between someone intentionally killing civilians (and himself) with accidental civilian casualties? Can you answer that with a straight face? As for the post listing 37,000 Iraqi civlians, you can basically make up any number on the internet and "cut and paste." US did not target civilians. Anyone who thinks that is the case is just in bizarro world. Why is that you never mention the estimated 1 million Muslims and others in the neighborhood killed by the Saddam regime?
