Why are you asking me to do the work? It's not up to me to convince myself that you are right. You do the homework. Prove to me that you have the right facts.
To be honest, I think you out to lunch on this one.# Israel and the western world don't go around strapped with bombs blowing up seniors, pregnant women and children. Our societies won't tolerate barbaric behavior like that. Just look at what happened to the soldier that shot the wounded, unarmed insurgent.

What exactly is your stance here? Do you think fanatic Muslim terrorists have killed more people in the last 50 years than western and Israeli militaries have?

No. I thought I was very clear on that. You're not trying to make it appear I'm saying something I didn't, are you? Casualties caused by fighting in wars between soldiers, terrorists, insurgents, guerillas, and rebels don't count. Our soldiers also don't hide behind civilian human shields (made up of women and children) in mosques and churches. Thankfully most of our western governments are principled and value all human lives. [/b][/quote]
No I'm not trying to make it appear that you are saying something you didn't so I asked a very straightforward question.
"Casualties caused by fighting in wars between soldiers, terrorists, insurgents, guerillas, and rebels don't count."
I'm willing to wager a considerable sum that they do in fact "count". I guarantee they "count" to the families of the dead people.
Tens of thousands of innocent civilians have died during the "War On Terror" so I don't think I agree with your assertion that "our western governments are principled and value all human lives". The "value all human lives" thing just doesn't mesh with the concept of "collateral damage".
