Absolutly not.
It is human nature to feel grievance and guilt when you see another human being murdered. The guilt, in this case, comes from being a part of a society that supports this kind of behaviour.
If there were not people like you in the world who have such a conscience, I'd imagine there would be alot more killing going on around you. Feeling bad or guilty about something is what stops you from doing bad things... isn't it?
Obviously the people making the decisons (such as your President) doesn't feel that guilt because A) He is conditioned to serve and protect the people of HIS country and he honestly feels this is the best way to do it (The means justify the end) and B) He doesn't see what his actually happening first hand.
Be proud of the fact that you care enough to feel.

definitely not, being a citizen that does not approve of the government's decisions, and seeing in our very own eyes how our weapons are being used by other countries (such as Israel) to slaughter innocent kids and elderly, we should feel terrible. To be more precise, impotence and helplessness is the word to use in such a stiuation. When will we see that we are the ones to be labelled as terrorists since we are actually producing, giving and allowing the usage of these weapons

Not at all. The death of an innocent person is always wrong, regardless of who's weapon was used. The only question is "who's truly responsible for that death?" Too many times people choose to answer that question with the most short-sighted "answer" possible.

I too feel guilty for innocent victims of human aggression.
But I also know that if you are attacked by someone you must
defend yourself.
The secret is to "Live and let Live!"
Have fun but be safe.

No, I dont think so. No one wants innocent people to die. But just because something doesn feel good, or just because reaching a better place risks your life doesnt mean its worth avoiding.
Living is just the short part of being dead.

No the feeling is not wrong because that feeling comes to innocent people and it tells them what is wrong. Trust your feeling.

yes and no... we dont just go killing innocent people. it happens time to time by accident because its war and on their turf. but if it was a slaughterfest of killing innocent civilians then yes, i would be sad too. the only reason innocent people may die is because the war is in their country

It's an unfortunate side effect of war. Innocent people will die. Nothing wrong with not liking to see anyone die, even when he or she DOES deserve it (death penalty, Jeffrey Dahmer getting killed in prison, etc.).

No, it is human nature. War is death and destruction, and most of those destroyed are innocent. Your feelings are grief for the useless loss of life.
