Oh! What a Lovely War

My earlier argument was that I acknowledge the occurrence of civilian casualties, HOWEVER there is quite a large issue with the amount we have seen throughout both Iraq and Afghanistan.
But actually, I almost can't argue that, seeing as depending on where you look for the stats, they range from 3,000 to about 15,000. Nobody seems to have an accurate figure, nor does the US even try to put forth an effort in consistently recording and reporting civilian deaths.
Hm....could this be because THEY DON'T CARE!?!? I accept that to be true. If you don't, you are in denial yourself. But you of course would think they actually care, because you have to justify your own thoughts when you argue that America does all it can to prevent civilian casualties...and that they are conducting this war with dignity.I understand you need to believe that in your mind to justify what you are saying and that's fine...nice quote worked out well here.
Guess what, the rest of us know that at the end of the day, they don't really care about dead iraqi civilians. Look at how they treat civilians when they are alive, man. They bust into their homes and scream at them to get down, children present - root the house as they please....smells a little like search and destroy to me...What if Russian soldiers came into your house and screamed at you to get down on the ground in Russian while pointing their guns at you and your loved ones. And then, they take you away from your family because you know or have consorted with someone who is linked to 'capitalism'. So this is how they treat them when alive, I'm sorry if I fail to think the administration cares when they are dead.
Lastly, why am I so 'comical' in my arguments, if millions think this way? Have you ever considered that outright support of this war is not directly related to your patriotism. Relax and realize it is okay to question government...you are still a patriot.
In fact, what makes one unpatriotic, IMO, is allowing the government in power to corrupt and ruin the reputation of your country.
In regards to your bit about suicide bombing...fucking duh!
Of course they aren't regarding civilian casualties. Thats what makes them the bad guys. Never did I suggest that they do. Im suggesting that YOU should see the hypocrisy in fighting an enemy you deem to be evil when you do evil things yourself.
