How can it be acceptable to kill any innocent civilians? Was it acceptable to kill "our" civilians?

To some extent its a matter of > mimizing the deaths of innocent people. Do what? You won't make these people go away by killing their women and children, even if it is colateral. Did we not learn a thing in Vietnam. We killed 1.5 - 2 million people and LOST. We lost 65 thousand young men over there. Stop the Taliban? What, like they won't just melt into the rocks and wait years to strike back. This is so typical of us Americans. Quick solution to long term problems. But then, that is us, isn't it. We revolve around 2, 4 and 6 year terms, all with short range sight. -Gary > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Gary P.
