so you have no qualms about civilians being killed whether they be in iraq, palestine, hiroshima, vietnam? so why are you so sensitive if they are killed in america or europe or israel? in fact the logic you use to justify civilians being killed elsewhere is morally bankrupt. these civilians support these terrorists/insurgents (whatever label you want to give them) so if they die they deserve it! then by extending this logic all americans and israelis are responsible for crimes against humanity that were committed by their governments. if they want to absolve themselves of the atrocities, they must speak up now and start protesting against their own governments and work for a regime change in their respective countries. don't you think?
