re: You almost wrote "WWII" didn't you? :)
The western Allies probably killed around 800,000 German Civilians in WWII and about double that of Japanese. So I guess we lost those wars too!
If you add in the German Civilians killed by the Soviets you get well over another million+ more lost.
Guerrilla wars tend to have high civilian casualties as the Guerillas are often hard to tell apart fromt he civilians. In the Taleban case they deliberate shelter with civillians.
In such a conflict civilian casualties are to be expected as are bias comments against it by those trying to gain political points.
Hey TB I was wondering. Has our local Taleban supporter ever complained about deliberate Taleban attacks on civiilians?
