No, it isn't. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Technically, if the Coalition troops were to leave to where THEY come, most of the killings would stop as well as the attacks are aimed at foreigners.

Now, I don't support the troops just leaving, I just wanted to point out that it's not reasonable to blame the insurgents alone on the deaths. It's sounds like you're saying "Sure, we bombed some people, but THEY made us do it".

No, the Coalition is to be "blamed" for the death they cause, just as the insurgents/terrorists are to be blamed for theirs.
