Collateral damage is the ugly side of war but no country has done more to prevent it than the USA.....NOBODY!!

IGNATIUS: I felt, watching the President Sunday night, that there's an American archetype of the strong, silent person, that person is reticent, but conveys...
MATTHEWS: The cowboy.
IGNATIUS: ... strength.
MATTHEWS: The cowboy. Gary Cooper. Matt Dillon.
IGNATIUS: I saw Obama as a little bit of that cowboy."
Instead of hurtling insults like most liberals why don't you attempt to prove how I am wrong.Quote:

How compassionate you are.
Tell me Bob since you claim to be a Christian, how do you reconcile your attitude with this?Quote:

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
- Romans 12:17-19
Well, for example, there was this British war on terrorism in Northern Ireland. I don't remember the Brits causing much collateral damage or raping local teenage girls and murdering their families.Quote:

Explain this statement, is says nothing as is. Or is it that you have nothing to say?Quote:

All those pilots were Saudi Arabians .
Ironic , don't you think , when Saudi planes were the only "no fly" exceptions ?
Now , there are 1000 Saudi soldiers in Bahrain , keeping the peace , whilst the US fleet bases in the background .
And , meanwhile , big Saudi Bin Laden money floats liberally into Dallas .
Who's in charge , Bob ?
The purpose of the 9/11 attacks were twofold:Quote:

Al Qaeda accomplished both.
I dispute the ridiculous numbers of casualties. Take off a few zerosQuote:

Such a scenario is silly, but as you are using an analogy that is void of content, if you are speaking of a David Koresh, Waco, Tx. type scenario, yes there the U.S. govt. should have been charged with murder or at least manslaughter, but he who wins the war, makes the history and that was old news before how barbaric Pres. Clinton's actions were, became common knowledge .Quote:

If you dispute them, then please provide a reliable link that you do trust.Quote:

If you are to criticise the ability of others in making points, at least do so in a way that makes proper grammatical sense.
And Americans are the epitome of society? A country where KuKluxKlan is protected by police while they're demonstrating hate,racism etc. What a BS attempt to devalue the lives of the innocent that have died.Quote:
