Dmitry,

>But to blame US for causing civilian casualties because of inaccuracies of bombing is unreasonable. According to the news report today, there is one (!) civilian person killed in Bagdad, after thousands (!) of bombs.

I see you are an intelligent person with a sharp mind. I admire this.

My point, perhaps the most central point I am concerned with in this whole discussion (in those many threads), is hipocrisy.

Of course there is no bombing (so huge like this one Iraq is experiencing) without civilian casualties. There is no technology for doing such thing. Of course I'm aware of this.

What really bothers me is US military leaders (and some leaders that are not using uniforms) come to TV and say they'll do "precise" bombing to avoid (ok, "minimize") civilian casualties.

Imagine a squadron of B-52s flying at the stratosphere droping tons of bombs each, to reach Bagdahd. They *really* believe they're not killing innocent people?

Regards,

Fernando

PS. Just curious, are you from East Europe? (I admire people from East Europe, wouldn't be a surprise to me if you are from there)
