30. How many innocent German children died in the bombing of Dresden??

War is hell. Innocent people die. It has always been like this, and people really need to stop pretending that this is the only time it has happened and that Obama is a terrible person because innocents die in a war he didn't start.

As long as humans insist on solving their disputes with violence this is going to happen. The fault here with the Pakistani and Yemeni deaths lies with the terrorists who started this war, not with the people who ARE going to end it.
