This is war folks. Come on now. Civillians die during wars, its just a fact of it. Have you all forgotten the 3,000 civillian deaths on 9/11? How about that?
There is no way of telling the "bad" from the "good". The insurgents don't have uniforms on.
Just accept it. Dang.

Even though I can agree with you, the civilians are to be spared as much as humanly possible. It is war and that's on thing I do understand but the whining liberals with their dumbass PC everything have never been in a combat situation so they just don't know the facts. I know that we are not targeting civilians but the insurgents are. It's a media ploy to get the democrats/liberals on their side and it is working. The liberals are so easy. They'll believe anything with hardly no proof as can be seen on this very board. If you want proof of my statements, just wait and see how many thumbs down I get and possibly even deleted off the board.
Keep watching now.
Oh yea I forgot.

Looks like you dont do arithmetic much. The Iraqi death toll for mostly civilians is roughly 700 000 (men women and children) and UN figures for refugees to Syria Iran and Jordan and Egypt stands at 2 400 000. And all because GWB and his cabal want to pilfer oil. But the saddest thing about is that you believe him.

The big deal is why these people keep hanging around until their clock is punched? You would think they would be the hell out of there until this matter is resolved, especially the Baghdad residents. I realize there are 6 million people in this town, but damn, a tent camp in the middle of the desert may not have the comforts of home, but at least you have a chance of seeing tomorrow.

I understand that war has its casualties,which means we should be incredibly careful in which ones we choose.I was for the original Afghanistan war,but I'm skeptical of us being in Iraq.It's just the cons outweigh the pros.There really isn't enough evidence.I smell a repeat of the war in Vietnam.

OMG, What do the civilians of Iraq have to do with 9/11? Do you watch Fox or something?

Human life is sacred. Any unnecessary death is a big deal. The U.S. is not responsible for the actions of terrorists.

Lets use 130,000 iraqi civilians as the count...
Well, if you believe all are equal, last time I checked 3,000 < 130,000. or however many were killed in iraq.
You either value human life, or you dont.
Now if it was 130,000 taliban or alqueda killed, I would applaud that. But it is 130,000 civilians killed, who were suposedly the ones we were to liberate.
