Kosovo-USA: "Haven't you heard about collateral damage guys."

It's easy to speak casually about collateral damage when it's not your child, brother, sister or loved one needlessly slaughtered.

'Collateral damage' is a clinical phrase to dehumanise victims and make this sort of mass killing acceptable. Collateral damage is unavoidable death during military operations.

Striking a target in the knowledge that innocent civilians will be killed or maimed is a war crime.

I heard that the Racak Massacre was also collateral damage. Those 45 Albanians simply got in the way of Serbian bullets, didn't they?

It's no excuse, what the hell is the US doing in Pakistan with their drones and missiles anyway?

Obviously not helping, if they are accidently killing people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I often hope that one day the US learns a lesson as a result of this ultra-chauvinist behaviour!

It really is no wonder that the US and Israel are the two most despised nations on earth if you look at their disgusting behaviour, but christians uniting with muslims is going too far.

Yeah, first time regarding Oklahoma and Tim McVeigh. I had impression, it was pretty uncool, what he did.

That "collateral damage" phrase is of course euphemism, now it became ugly - and I wonder, what will be the next version of it.

A chain like Negro->Black->African-American->????

I am thinking hard, what that "????" for "collateral damage" might be in the future, but let us be surprised.

Every week or two-another massacre in afghanistan!

For the last week the picture of a dying young Iranian girl, Neda, is played over and over again on americas media outlets-amid calls for war against Iran. Here death is a tragedy.

But where are the pictures of the thousands of mangled and destroyed bodies in Afganistan?

In the American mind not all people are equal. Palestinians are sub-humans top be walled in and massacred at will, the media will remain quiet. The American and his Jewish friends are the chosen people of god, the death of one american or one Israeli is worth the lives of countless muslims and others.

Christians and muslims unite.

The EU is always silent on these massacres of innocent people by the US. The EU leaders are too busy chasing teenage girls, or parading around with high heels and worried about women wearing scarfs. Shame on the lot of you.

I wonder why the "free" world nations haven't said anything about this reckless, terroristic attack on Pakistani soil by the US drones. This is unbelievable to say the least. Not only is the US's President Mr BH Obama completely acting counter to his pre-election nonesense regarding the reaching out to the rest of the world with an olive branch, but now he's authorizing further incurssions into a soverign state, which has nothing to do with their so-called terroristic targets.
It's a shame that Europre has crumbled, and lost all of its dignity and simply follows at the footsteps of the US, hoping for a "good-boy" pat on the head every so often.
