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?

US 'Killed 47 Afghan Civilians'
By BBC

11/07/08 "BBC" -- - A US air strike in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed 47 civilians, 39 of them women and children, an Afghan government investigating team says.

Reports at the time said that 20 people were killed in the airstrike in Nangarhar province. The US military said they were militants.

But local people said the dead were wedding party guests.

Correspondents say the issue of civilian casualties is hugely sensitive in Afghanistan.

President Hamid Karzai has said that no civilian casualty is acceptable.

Anything or anybody that kills innocent people is guilty of immoral behaviour. One thing that I think that you are not taking into account though, is intent. The intent of the Americans is not to go out and target civilians. I know MANY soldiers and they have nightmares about that stuff, and they never meant to do it, whereas the terrorists SPECIFICALLY target civilians. Please, maintain some perspective.

How long will this stay up before being censored? The US MSM gave this a few seconds mention and then went on to a lengthy ramble about Jon Benet Ramsey. I think we can be certain that most reports of civilian deaths caused by the West in Afghanistan are true, no matter what the Military may say at first.

You're right joe, the imperialist American pigs will shut this news page down anytime now.....

So you feel certain the stories of the US always targeting civilians are true?
Really?
Certain like when you post retarded BS from the info clearing house site?

I'm certain people like you will always fall for the same militant bullchit.

Tell me something joe why do you remain silent about the suicide bombings or the attacks on schools for girls?
Is it because you don't care about them because it wasn't the US who committed the acts? Or maybe, just maybe its because you support them.

Why don't you place any blame on your Taliban buddies who hid among civilians???

What about that? Why do you always fail to place to blame where it is do?
