You are more grieved over these kids (whom you are not sure even died at our hands) than these people who were simply trying to have their morning coffee and get to work? I choose to support the latter. How about you?

The collateral damage seems to be far exceeding the terrorist casualties. Apparently another seven children were killed yesterday. Just like the sanctions on Iraq with about a million woman and kids dead in the last 8 years.
See if you can spot any terrorists here. Those precision bombs again
I see pictures of women and children (most are unhurt, BTW) that could have been taken in any middle east country at any time. These people whom you have linked to this post are not the ones we are bombing.
The injuries in the photos are most likely inflicted at another time during one of the many civil wars going on in those countries.
Do you know the time and place of these photos? Can you place a single one of these people inside one of the homes that was bombed? I think we may come to find that some of the homes were targeted because Taliban forces were hiding among the civilians (cowards!).
I suggest you take your crap to DUh! Your boat don't float here.
Yes, I see several terrorists, don't you?
And do unspeakable things to their women and farm animals.
The only dead in Afghanistan would STILL be the several hundred thousand that the Afgan's themselves killed, are killing, and continue to kill.
By the way, where were these photographs of the millions killed by the socialists in Cambodia, North Vietnam, China, Cuba, Russia, Ukraine, Malaysia, Angola, Ethiopia, Sudan, .....
The Communists, the Afghani's are pure evil ... and ONLY respect the rule of force.
As long as they are not American children I have no sentimental reservations of wiping any of these people out en masse. Most of these "children" will in any case eventually grow up to be enemies. Unless their nation is crushed and vanquished to the point where they learn that war against the US is a Phyrric effort in futility.
You may as well stamp "Baby Milk Factory" on them...they show nothing.
You are a mouth piece for anti-American propaganda.
So it's our responsibility to feed the people in other nations? Why can't the Iraqis feed themselves? You seem to be claiming that we are responsible for the starvation in Iraq because we do not feed them. Their government has more than enough money and resources to feed themselves, they just choose to spend it on the development of chemical and biological weapons, as well as palaces and luxuries for the leaders.
BTW, most major media outlets have now downgraded the # dead in WTC to ~2,950.
And you believe that? Of course they are going to downgrade the number. They have to build up opposition to the war because the liberals demand it.
Have they accounted for the 2,050 people previously missing? If so, I've missed it. I would be willing to place a large bet that 95% or more of the people who were in the building who are still missing are dead and have yet to be found (or we have not pieced them together yet).
Even if the number really is 3000 (oh, sorry, 2,950), what difference would it make? Does that somehow make it more acceptable to you?
This reduction in the number dead is obviously a farce intended to lessen the impact of the attacks. It is the same technique used by retailers to make their products seem less expensive ($499.99 somehow seems less than $500.00).
Tell Saddam to sell one of his twenty palaces, and fire ten of his twenty look-a-likes, and buy his people some food.
How many of these dead have YOU seen? Who told you they are dead...what was their agenda?
You parrot "facts" and do not even know they are true. In reality, you know nothing but what you are told by others.
In spite of this, you allow yourself to be used as a mouthpiece for anti-American propaganda.
Your own greatgrandaddy would spit on you if he saw what you have become.
Is this what you are offering as an alternative to our evil way of life?

The US is killing innocent Afghani civilians because of bin Laden's actions.
That is as evil as bin Laden orchestrating the death of 5,000 Americans because of certain US politicians' actions.
If bin Laden had been turned over to American authorities, there would be no bombings in Afghanistan, thus no dead Afghans.
Once again, the US is killing innocent Afghani civilians because their leaders refused to turn over bin Laden.
Likewise, bin Laden killed innocent US civilians because their leaders refused to withdraw from the Middle East.
An Afghani peasant has no more control over whether or not bin Laden gets turned over than a janitor at the WTC had any control over US foreign policy.
(Indeed, the Afghani peasant probably has far far less influence over the actions of his leaders than the victims in the WTC.)
Both actions are evil. And by the way... The Taliban offered to extradite bin Laden to Saudi in February of this year. Saudi refused to take him. They also asked the US and UN to send in monitors to observe bin Ladin this June. The US ignored the request. On October 4, the Taliban offered to try bin Ladin themselves if the US would give them some evidence. No deal. On October 14 the Taliban once again offered to extradite him to any other country besides the US or Britain. Once again, no deal. Would the Taliban have actually followed through with their promise? Who knows. Probably not. But, if it could have saved one innocent life, it would have been worth it to agree to their proposed extradition and see what happened.
