#1 For starters, Hamid, to better understand the "civilian" causalties, look under the burka. If "she" has a beard, mustache and testicles "she" ain't a civilian. One way to lower civilian causalties is for the Taliban to refrain from attacking coalition troops while using women and children as cover. But that ain't gonna happen 'cause it's a cultural thingy among the brave lions of Islam.

#2 The US and coalition forces never kill anyone. Our soldiers only direct bits of metal toward assumed enemy combatant's vital parts at high speed.
Allan kills them or allows them to survive. It's not up to us. These dead obviously fell out of favor with Allan. Bury them without honor.

#3 I like that idea, wxjames! We are only instruments of Allan's will! We have no choice, no more than the suicide bombers or terrorists.

I think we ought to be testing these Innocent Civilians(TM) for gunpowder residue.

#6 If these gutless, yellow dogs insist on hiding among women and children, they should expect all living koranimals in the area to be exterminated. Our troops have no time for sorting under fire. We should make it clear taht everything out front in the battlespace is subject to death and destruction. The choice is made by the gutless Muslims not us. End of discussion.

#9 Drag Karzai into one of these battles and give him a gun and have him show us how to do it.
