I don't recall seeing anyone write that, and I have read the entire thread up to this post of yours (not beyond it, yet). All anyone has said is that innocent Afghanis will be killed - i.e. the ordinary man, woman and child who have small option but to try and survive under their regime as best they can.

Right, Fljotsdale. Also, someone mentioned this before, in another thread i believe (too lazy to look for it right now), but innocents are already suffering, before we have dropped a single bomb, simply because our military is coming. Our military's reputation proceeds us, and people have fled their homes and places of work and are starving because they justifiably fear that we will bomb them if they remain.

Our military operation has already caused widespread suffering among innocents, even before we have fired a single shot.
