That is exactly what you are doing my friend. All of your information is speculation.

In terms of "that when you drop thousands of bombs on any country, you will kill civilians. This is a statistically certain outcome. You can weasel all you like, but on European TV we saw plenty of dead babies killed by NATO bombs.*"

Duh! That is my point! But you state that it is intentional. If we did not drop those bombs more than 1.5 million people would be dead.

You know if we didn't fight in WWII and just gave into Nazi domination more people would have lived, and no children would have been killed?

Your speculation and entire premise comes tumbling down when you look at the fact that we ended the reign of brutal dictator praciticing ethnic genocide on millions of people.

"What I do know now is that you are awfully proud of how our government has used trillions of dollars in taxpayer money to target EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE YEARS IN ADVANCE."

Again, you make lots of speculation about people without knowing anything about the facts.

I think it is wiser to be as acurate as possible when hitting a target. I also find it just fine that we spend extra money protecting this country and making sure we keep civilian casualities as light as possible. Perhaps you think we should not be prepared for a quick and deadly strike against the enemy rather than taking our time to win a long drawn out battle talling up the death toll on the enemy.

You base everything on the notion that all war is evil and all military men and women that prepare for war.

I don't oppose preparing for war to protect the nation. I oppose the causing of war like Bush does for the sake of just war. Just because someone buys health insurance doesn't mean they want to get sick.
