Why do people blaim America for killing innocent people in war?
Please.....
First of all we are the nicest nation in war there probably ever was. The people we are fight now in Iraq and Afgan would not show the kindness we have shown. What nation gives back land? Twice!
Second, If Mr. Abu or whatever would like to go hide behind some kid and his family. Then he is to blaim for getting them killed. We are not required to lose 10 American soldiers for one kid. It's not right and not our faults...

Lynne the bad guy is the one who started the war.... Lets go back in time for a minute to 9/11 and then see how you would feel if you lost your whole family in a day...

because people are pathetic and always feel the need to blame somebody else, for something they don't understand.
I'm sure everybody's grandmother at some point said "never judge a man, until you have walked a mile in his shoes"
Apparently there are a lot of people out there without shoes! lol
People need to take responsibility for themselves, if everybody did this, we wouldn't have all the problems we do today.

We had no business going there. Iraq did nothing to us. And hey, by definition Americans are terrorist, look what we did to the Native Americans. And how the heck are we going to give something back that was never ours? If we really want to help someone out where were we during Rwanda? Why aren't we in Darfur? Mr. Abu? If you are going to try to post a almost, but not up to par question could you at least drop the stereotypes, spell correctly and update your "facts"? Innocent people are getting killed it's a reality; there is not a front line out there. It's a "war" people die. It saddens me that ignorance will never go away.

I agree. We are a lot kinder than most countries when it comes to things like this. And I like the point that you made about the real person to blame is the ones who really started this war on 9/11.

Its a war. In every war there's a good guy and a bad guy. Acoording to the Americans, Iraq id bad...according to the Iraqi's, the Americans are bad. But according to me they're both bad, wars are just wrong and shouldn't have even started in the first place!

I actually agree with what Lynne & Kimberly said. I'm surprised you said that "we are the nicest nation in war..", which sort of contradicts your question line "why do people blame America for killing innocent people.." There's no such thing as "nice" what it comes to war. War is war: if you're nice & even the nicest, you'll get killed.
Quoting the late President Ford, a lifelong Republican:
"(Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld and (Vice President Dick) Cheney and the president made a big mistake in justifying going into the war in Iraq. They put the emphasis on weapons of mass destruction. And now, I've never publicly said I thought they made a mistake, but I felt very strongly it was an error in how they should justify what they were going to do."
Expressing the traditional view of his party with regard to military adventures abroad, Ford said, "I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security."
Yes, 9/11 happened, but it was AlQaeda, not Iraq that did it, correct? Also, history didn't just start from 9/11/01. Read up on "Soviet War in Afghanistan" on Wikipedia (http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:turT-P7lFH8J:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan+Soviet+War+in+Afghanistan,+US,+Al+Qaeda&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us). It's interesting, believe me. This paragraph summarizes it:
"Thus, Afghan guerrillas were armed, funded, and trained mostly by the US and Pakistan. The U.S. viewed the conflict in Afghanistan as an integral Cold War struggle, and the CIA provided assistance to anti-Soviet forces through the Pakistani ISI, in a program called Operation Cyclone. A similar movement occurred in the Muslim world, bringing contingents of so-called Afghan Arabs (hailed by US President Ronald Reagan as "freedom fighters"), foreign fighters recruited from the Muslim world to wage jihad against the communists. Notable among them was a young Saudi named Osama bin Laden, whose Arab group eventually evolved into Al-Qaeda. The US government maintains its support was limited to the indigenous Afghan mujahideen, and Osama bin Laden's participation in the conflict was unrelated to CIA programs. Regardless, the US program encouraged similar funding systems to come through the Arab Muslim world."
Then, read up on "Operation Cyclone" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone). You'll be surprised to see how hard it is to answer the question "Who started it/them?"
By the way, yes, a lot of people lost their families, relatives, friends, etc on 9/11, but there have been, are, & will be wars, tragedy, accidents, natural disasters, pandemic/epidemic & casualties everywhere all over the world (not just in America) that kill just as many if not more people.
I think given all the information the public knows, many people/countries worldwide believe that the was was actually avoidable; that is why. Even the UN wasn't happy:
"The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter."

People do this strictly as a means of propaganda or from a standpoint of ignorance.
