At least 56 civilians killed in US-led airstrikes in Syria

Intredasting how frandie only posts when American led strikes kill civilians, but never when Russian led ones do...Dat Putin shilling...

Anyway, at what period in the history of warfare have civilians not died? This has always happened and likely always will. Nothing is perfect. There will always be people dying that shouldn't have died. The difference is the numbers are much, much lower now than they have been in the past and it's more visible due to the media. If you want 0 civilian casualties then just give up and pull out altogether. I'd like to see how many civilian casualties there would be as a result at the hands of ISIS.

So, relatively small number of civilian casualties vs. widespread murder, rape and kidnapping by ISIS with free reign. You choose, because those are the only realistic choices.

And before that, 9/11 occurred on our soil in which over 3,000 people died. And before that, the towers would have fallen in '93 if the bomber had parked closer to the pillars. And before that , Israel experienced suicide bomb attacks with alarming frequency. And before that , there were embassy bombings , and so on and so on.

The most frequent people killed by Islamic terrorists are other Muslims. Do those Muslims have anything to do with Western imperialism?

There is this bizarre fantasy that somehow the Middle East would be this stable bastion of peace and tolerance if it weren't for us big bad Americans.

When 1,200 people leave France to fight in Syria, what does that tell you? How have they been damaged by Western imperialism. ?

I'm talking about the frequency of these events. These fuckers will always have an axe to grind, whether it's against us or their own people.

But if you look at the data, there is a is a direct correlation between the number attacks by radicals before and after the 2nd Iraq War.

You're reaching here and implying things I didn't even come close to suggesting to deflect.

Western policy in the Middle East is one of the main reasons we can see an obvious increase in frequency of these attacks.The voids we've left in removing and propping up dictators and destroying communities is pushing desperate people into radicalization.

Well, yes. There are people we've removed who we never should have removed, as terrible as they were. It just goes to show you through the pent up sectarian animosity these people had/have for one another. As soon as iron fist ruler is removed, chaos reigns.
