You're obviously uneducated on the fact, and I'm not ranting. I'm pointing out that your views and figures are inaccurate. No western country in recent history has ever gone out with the express intention of harming the innocent public. Its a sad fact that accidents do happen, but hundreds of thousands! Get real! These extemists don't just single out the military do they. Or have you forgotten how many people died on 9/11 and 7/7! You need to remember that those affected were people just like you, or your loved ones. I'm sure you'd have different views if someone you knew personally was affected by an atrocity like this!
