A bit of a diversion, but how does that square up in Iraq where over 100,000 civilians have died since the beginning of the war and the chance of having a violent death is 58 times higher?
Some of the stories coming out of Falluja at the moment are really distressing, the bodies of women and children just lie in the streets and the smell is unbearable. Whether its war or terrorism, killing is just wrong. Arafat, Blair, Bush - they all have blood on their hands. -----Original Message----- From: G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 November 2004 17:25 To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Let the white wash begin Yes. The rules of war that have been set down and agreed upon SINCE world war 2 expressly forbid the intentional targeting of civilians in any war action. Supporting the intentional killing of civilians to get what you want, even if you believe that what you want rightfully belongs to you, is terrorism...not "freedom fighting". > > For example, in WWII the US felt that Germany occupied land rightly > owned by the allies.
