I'm not sure how relevant that was to the conversation but, fuck, that's just fucking nuts.



The United States makes every effort to prevent innocent people from being targeted or killed.

Conversely, the forces of Saddam Hussein, and those of Al Qaida and other Muslim groups, make every effort to specifically target innocent people and non-combatants, and to use them as human sheilds, even housing pro-Saddam/Islamist fighters in schools, hospitals and mosques, so they can later condemn the U.S. for attacking these fortifications.



Were innocents killed at Normandy, and in the battle forward from there, across France and Germany? Yes. Absolutely. And yet no one questions, despite those collateral deaths, that this was a just war, to liberate Europe.

Similarly in Iraq, innocents are sometimes caught in the crossfire with insurgents by the U.S. and its allies. But that is clearly the fault of the aggressors who abduct and slaughter Iraqi civilians, and who target Iraqi people with suicide bombers, not the fault of the American forces who are simply struggling to bring order to the chaos there.

Only a partisan radical like yourself, Mxy, could blame the U.S. forces who labor to prevent innocent deaths, rather than the Islamists who specifically target innocent civilians.
