When I was in Israel in the mid 90's working there were a lot of bus bombings going on. The Israelis would leave some of the carnage, body parts, blood, etc., at the scene for a day or two so that the population could see with their own eyes what happened. When they retaliated there was no doubt about why. We rarely see what our own troops go through on a day to day basis. I think if people saw what our troops are subjected to daily there wouldn't be near as much opposition when a few "innocent civilians" get turned into goo.....

Well it would like bombing parts of Detroit. “In the news today 3 houses were bombed in Detroit. The estimate of damage was Three Dollars and Forty Two Cents”
