High horse?

You're the one who tried to equate blowing up a bus full of civilians with accidental killing of civilians in a war zone. Remember?

Blow up a bus knowing you're going to kill 20 people on it.

Drop a bomb on a suspected terrorist safe house, knowing there could be 20 people unconnected to your target affected.

Difference? One is called terrorism, one is called collateral damage.

...Keep the "who do you want to win" crap to yourself. I know who I want to win, I just don't agree with you as to how to do it. See the difference?

You don't want to fight this war the way they're fighting it, but don't have clue one on how to do it otherwise. It's a WAR. And relative to every other war fought in human history, probably the most humane war ever fought. And yes, all a lot of people are doing is standing on the sidelines and throwing shit, with absolutely no plausible alternatives other than a somewhat lame "we shouldn't have gone in in the first place." Of course, if we hadn't gone into Iraq then there would be the collateral damage in Afghanistan to bitch about, and boy, we heard a lot of that here a few years ago too.
