Innocent people died in Dresden. They died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s war, people die. More die if you try to protect them.
They died in Warsaw, Coventry and Rotterdam, too.
Yes they do, but do you dismiss what the ISIS terrorists do?
If I look at Dresden or Hiroshima, yes, the civilian population reaped the fruits of their support for their current regime. Add to that, many of the civilians were part of the ‘war machine’, working in factories. I can accept their casualties as justified.
But Fallujah is slightly different. Our occupation and subsequent evacuation of Fallujah has set up a situation where the local population has essentially been kidnapped by a group that (I presume) most don’t support.
This could get really bad, and I do feel for the civilians caught in the middle.
