the killing of innocents in a war zone. The general public is so far removed from the realities of war to even have a notion of what is involved. The tactics and results can not be judged as if on a television show in a controlled environment.

The very reason the militants move in with the civilians is they know enough about the enemy...THAT WOULD BE US BY THE WAY...to take advantage of what they know they will have going for them.

I am not OK with the drones killing innocents...just like I am not OK with drunks and cell phone users on the highways killing innocents...like it or not there is collateral damage in a war. The technology has come a long way to allow minimizing it to a point. The drunks and cell phone killers of innocents are much higher in number yet we tolerate it happening. In fact we allow it to continue.

Remember we are a people now that will not tell our warriors to go in and win a war. we might hurt some feelings by doing so as a result the war(s) go on longer. The enemy plays with us on the battlefield and at home via the media and special interest groups.

To single out an incident and look for a reconciliation is not a reasonable notion. We would have never won the wars in our countries past with the outlook of the people in today's society.

If you haen't been there you can't reconcile/rationalize or make it go away....no more than we do the drunk and cell phone driver murderers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
