This is disingenuous to say the least.  Civilians are targeted. You've
admitted it yourself in other posts.  You rationalize your targetting
of civilians, such as attacking a village, by asserting that there is
also a number of enemy troops, leaders or supplies in the same
area.  Its no big suprise to anyone when you blow up a few 
hundred people, you expected that, you just figured 
"the price was worth it"

Would you be so willing to drop bombs in village X if you knew there
were 10 American citizens in the village? how about 100? and what if
village X happens to be a european or american city with a majority
of eneymy forces composing the city?  It often seems like a gross
degree of racism is used in the equation to calculate "collateral
damage"

"Yeah, I just threw a grenade in a busy intersection, Its not my fault
people died, I was too far away to determine who was at the
interesection. "  is just as dumb of an argument.
