[quote="Mr. Buttocks":76143]... Thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women and children get killed by bombs falling on their heads - dropped by our military - and hardly anyone over here in the west gives a shit. One American guy gets killed and the western media goes loco "OH MA GAWD AN AMERICAN HAS BEEN KILLED?!?!?!?!?"
Fuck that.[/quote:76143]
You're probably right. But, think about it going the other way. It's way worse. When 9/11 happened, what did a bunch of Palestinians do? They danced in the streets buring american flags. Sure, they had a right to do that if they wanted to, they have free speech. and I'm not saying they represent all the arab countries, but mabey us being so critical about american deaths stem from them being so critical about directly causing those deaths.
Another thing, someone already said this, Any civilian deaths that happen as a result of our bombs are accidents. We do not aim at civilian targets. For the people we are fighting, though, that seems like their favorite passtime, and It saddens me that they do it all in the name of a religion. They go to a mosque in the morning for prayers, do a beheading in the afternoon. (again, I'm talking about terrorists and those who support them, not all muslims)
PS: It would be nice to keep this civil so that Zoner don't go crazy and do something like lock it.
