This is still the very early hours of an operation you can't be sure about anything you hear.

The difference Epona is that we warned them repeatedly.
We do not knowingly target civilians.
We are trying to keep the death toll to a MINIMUM.
The reports say that at least 50% of the civilian population had
left the cities before any of this even started.
We are after the Taliban and Bin Laden, not the people of Afghanistan.

The alternative is to do nothing. To sit here and let them bomb buildings, blow up who ever they want, when ever they want. We can't do that. We can't bend over to every jerk-off with a grudge or a hatred of us. Not when they target our civilians on purpose. Intending to kill as many as they can.

I don't like this anymore than you Epona. Honestly I wish with all my heart that this was a bad dream. But it isn't. I don't want to see innocents die. But what are we to do? How are we to do it? What can we do that we aren't already doing? We didn't ask for them to start this. We didn't ask for this. We wanted to live in peace. We trusted that they did too. But they don't. They had ample warning. We as freedom loving people have to defend ourselves.

This is a military operation. Collateral damage has to be expected. You can't blow up a building with a 2000 lb bomb and expect no damage to other structures. We are using the most acurate weapons in the world. We are trying
to have minimal collateral damage.

I pray to god that this ends soon, that he look out for those in harms way, that in the end we all find the peace we so want.
