Really, I will.. I'll continue to read the rest of your post... but I need to stop here:

"They tell us here in the States that when we bomb, it is warrantedand we only hit military facilities. In all actuality we are hitting schools and hospitals. "

What you forget, or simply overlook is that the schools and hospitals are military facilities... the sick military we are fighting place their own in danger, knowing full well that we will come kill them; knowing full well the bad press we will get and are willing to take by hitting a hospital.

I would much rather see a hospital blow up in the backyard of the military we are fighting than see an army say "But but they're in a hospital." and then, years later, be in a building in my own backyard when it's hit by a 747...

People die in war. Civilians included.

This is why, at a higher level, we need to just not have war.

But once there is war, there is no way a country can *not* hit a hospital and still look strong and look like they mean what they say when they say they're coming for the bad guys...
