I was complaining, as were humans rights groups all over the world.

How is it that we can justify killing civilians so eaisily yet be surprised when someone strikes back at our civilians?

Well, at least we can agree on that!

Also, about our so-generous food drops:

They are largely unwanted, when they reach people at all, and are really just part of the war here at home (public relations). After all, you just used them as justification for a pro-bombing argument. ;-)

I don't mean to ruffle feathers; I've been reading this board for a while now and I like this group! I just think that there isn't ever justification for killing civilians. Regardless of their causes or convictions it was wrong for the terrorists to do what they did, and regardless of our cause or our need for justice it is wrong for us to kill civilians in our military strikes. Nobody here (as far as I know) would look into to the eyes of some kid and kill him or her; how is it that you can so eaisily support a military operation that (even by accident) does the same thing?
