Please don't misunderstand me. I am NOT in favor of this war! I want us out as soon a possible.

But, it is a war zone! Mistakes happen.

The only answer is to get out. Until we are out this will happen and it shouldn't surprise anyone.

Edit.
I am not for this was, never have been, never will be.
I think we need to get out.

I pointed out that it is a war zone simply because it is, I am not blaming those who live there in any way. I say it shouldn't surprise anyone because there is, and always will be collateral damage in war. I was not using that as an excuse, simply pointing out a fact. War equals death. To eliminate the deaths, end the war. That was my point, this is happening because of the war. To end it end the war.
