There seems to be a consensus out there that suicide bombers and IED's are evil killers of the innocent and that US hi-tech weapons that do the same are "good guy" killers of the innocent. How imperialist are YOU willing to go to warp and torture the English language? Quote: US 'Killed 47 Afghan Civilians'
