1. Why doesn't anyone in the government call this what it is, murder of

innocent people? What in the world do they hope to gain by this? They can't possibly think that this is going to help. We gain fifty enemies for every man, woman, and child that we kill.

2. I can't deal with this

How can I say I support the troops after reading something like this?

While the children were playing ball. I am ashamed.

3. Pretty sick :(

When OBL kills 3k civilians, it's the work of the devil.

If USA returns by killing 11k civilians, it's "collateral damage". On top of that, the USA military is forbidden to count the civilian casualties they killed. That is one of the worst kind of disrespect you could show to someone you killed....

In most countries, you'd get jailed for that, too. Called cold blooded murder.
