If US military kills wedding party (and they have) not much outrage. Why?

[cantstandbush]

If Al qaeda kills wedding party world outrage. Aren't the people just as dead and isn't one act just as horrible as the other? We have no business with our military even in the region. Will killed lots of innocent civilians in our sweeps through Fallujah and our latest sweet near the Syrian borders. Why wasn't the world, including Jordan outraged then?

Bring our troops home now and see if the insurgency doesn't die out.

4. There was outrage - remember - the military

didn't deliberately go in and blow up a wedding party.

[Solon]

5. How do we know that?

Seriously, just because the military commanders say its a tragic mistake doesn't mean it was. Why should we believe them, because we want or need to?

6. I am sorry but the "we didn't mean to drop those smart bombs on you head"

...stuff is getting old after several years of it. I wish I could feel different. But I can't. These are human beings dying here. There is no excuse for it any more. None.

7. You and I pulled the trigger.

As Americans, we are all responsible for what our military does. We should not have invaded Iraq. We should not be trying to occupy it now. We should not be asking our troops to die for this immoral cause. We should not be putting our troops into positions where they feel like they need to kill to protect themselves unless it is a last resort to protect America. We should not be putting our military machine in positions where it could possibly be killing citizens.

Fuck deliberation - it doesn't mean shit to people who have seen American bombs rip their family members to shreds. You and I pulled the trigger. I won't rest until my military leaves Iraq.
