... First, like every other normal Human Being, I am sorry for the loss of innocent civilians.
Having said that, and genuinely meaning it, I must add this : When ever innocent civilians are killed by the Russians, Brits, French or Americans in there " noble " wars on - whatever - we are told that it was unfortunate but it was Self Defense or Unavoidable or (my personal favorite, the rather cold-blooded American term) Collateral Damage ...
When it's somebody else, we call it Terrorism ... aside from the self-serving definitions the wealthier and more politically powerfully Nations get to use (and we mostly all accept) what is the difference between fire-boning, napalming or atomic bombing innocent people when the Ruskies, Yanks & Brits do it and killing EQUALLY innocent people when so-called Terrorists do it ?
It doesn't matter whether you kill in the name of your God or you Countries interests ... Killing civilians - non combatants - still wrong !
