I feel like reporting you for stupidity.Whether by design , omission of decent intelligence or likely because they dont really give a crap WHO goes up when they drop a cluster bomb on an ALLEGED target, western forces have literally bombed countries including women, children and innocent people in their thousands.
FFS next you will be telling me that HIROSHIMA was a targeted strike at the MILITARY!
Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations continually target civilians. Embassy bombings, 9/11, 7/7, Bali bombings to name just a few. The dead included men, women, children. Civilians were purposely targeted.
The United States, while not smelling of roses, don't make a habit of beheading aid workers or purposely targetting civilians. To bring up Hiroshima is a bit silly; in WWII everyone was bombing everyone. Are we Brits murderers for bombing Dresden?
War is a horrible thing, but whereas 60 years ago you knew who your enemy was, it's now impossible. The Taleban use women and children as human shields; do you see ISAF doing that? Do you see ISAF purposely targeting civilians? No. The likes of Al-Qaeda, on the other hand, don't set out to target the military. They blend in and murder innocent, unarmed civilians. If you need proof of this, I refer you to my earlier paragraph.
Whatever you think of the U.S., or Western forces in general, they don't set out to kill & maim as many people as possible. WWII was completely different to the current 'war on terror'.
very well put !! there are some complete idiots on here, and the Hiroshima comment was the most stupid i've seen in a long time !
