It was the US military invented the term "collateral damage". Nobody
had hear of it 'til then.

It was the head of RAF Bomber Command who said if he couldn't kill a German
worker standing at his lathe then he was happy to kill him sleeping in his
bed. *Of course that meant he was going to kill the civilian worker's wife
and kids as well....

You really don't want to look at your own nation's history much, do you.
And you'd crawl over broken glass to take a swipe at the U.S., wouldn't you.

Er that was revenge for Coventry, and Birmingham and London, Bath,
Glasgow, Port Glasgow. York, Bristol Cardiff. I could go on.
was also Rotterdam, Warsaw, Antwerp etc.
Never a bomb fell on America ('til 11/9) and then what a lot of
whinging went on.
What was your reason for Vietnam and Iraq? Ah, now I remember, a pack
of lies.
