Have you studied any history at all?? How can you say that there has not been collateral damage in war? This has occurred in every war that the US has been involved in since before there was a United States. You will find killing of civilians-- either deliberately or accidentally-- from the French and Indian War up through now. No President or other kind of Commander-in-Chief can prevent this from happening because in war, terrible stuff happens. Why do we ignore the civilians killed in American wars? - The Washington Post

Take the Korean War for instance.

"The wars in Korea and Indochina were extremely deadly. While estimates of Korean War deaths are mainly guesswork, the three-year conflict is widely believed to have taken 3 million lives, about half of them civilians. The sizable civilian toll was partly due to the fact that the country’s population is among the world’s densest and the war’s front lines were often moving." this is from the above Washington Post linked article on civilian deaths is US wars.

No one that knows me would ever describe me as a war hawk in any way shape or form. Nor was I ever a supporter of Cindy Sheehan and her protests against the Iraq war. Cindy Sheehan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bumbling hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was a march of folly though and I have taken issue with that war in Iraq.
