Collateral damage. We are not targeting them.
Ah, so even though collateral damage is the inevitable consequence of war, that makes it all OK. I get it. So what for the suffering of thousands in pursuit of revenge? "The end justifies the means". Right. If a million people have to die, be maimed, or lose family members so that Bin Laden can be captured you're OK with that.
http://www.zmag.org are bunch of commies who have never found fault with any mass murderer, only those who defend themselves against mass murder, never opposed any totalitarian tyrant, only those who make revolution against tyrants.
That's a good defence. Just label the people whose opinions you don't like as a "bunch of commies". Then you don't need to take them seriously. I'm impressed. You seem to forget there are people in the left who are for restructuring of society so that there is much less government, and less power centralised in the hands of a few. Cheers, Mark
