Those "civilians" have some responsibility for their government's don't you think? Who should be more responsible? It is their lives that are enslaved by it and in many ways of their own making.

I don't exactly see their government as some free democracy or republic. The Taleban is a dictatorial and tryrannical form of government--You and I both know that there were alot of people trying to get out once they heard of the WTC tragedy. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't place the blame for a faulty government on women and children in Afganastan. These people can't just take up and leave, they have no rights over there. Your reply actually sickens me. Is this what you really believe? Is this terrorist act also helping to bring out the monsters in ourselves? I believe that we as a country have a general respect for human life, and I believe that in war it is always the most ethical way to minimize civilian casualities, especially the women and children over there. If any of you out there has not read the Catholic Church's Just War Doctrine, you should. I think that many people here need to.
