It's typical but tiring of the left to equate TARGETING civilians (like most suicide bombers do) with TARGETING military combatants. I didn't equate them, I just disputed your claim that those who support the Iraq war don't support the slaughter of innocents. War supporters just think the slaughter of innocents is worth the military benefit. We knew during shock and awe that some innocent Iraqi civilians would be killed, even though they weren't the missile's target. Don't pretend if you target a 200 military installations with 200 missiles and the estimated civilian death toll of those attacks is 1,000 that you didn't just slaughter 1,000 innocent civilians, because you did. You just made the calculation that it was worth it in order to destroy those military installations. People who refuse to believe there is a moral difference between the two disgust me. You are the one comparing the two, not me. So it's here that we end this conversation. You can end the conversation by just not replying. But don't end it by projecting your thoughts as if they were my thoughts. I didn't make the comparison you are attributing to me.
