That is the silliest, most childish argument I have ever heard. "We called ahead".
(Yeah, we planted bombs in a hotel, and caused the death and serious injury of 100 people, but we called first. All of those deaths aren't our fault). Nope, doesn't cut it. Responsibility is with the people that planted the bombs. Hidden in milk cans. Smuggled into the kitchen of a hotel. Period. No, maybe they shouldn't have been using PART of the hotel as a police and military office. Granted. But that does not removed the responsiibilty for the deaths squarely on the people who planted the bombs.
