Americans claim they never target civilians, that they just kill children rarely as collateral damage. I know this to be a lie, because I saw them do it with my own eyes. Likely you saw it too, but it did not register just what you were seeing. On 2003-03-20, the opening day of the Iraq war, pretty well everyone was huddled around their TV sets watching live the invasion of Iraq. I was watching with some ex-patriate Iraqis who were naive enough to think Bush was going to liberate Iraq. Instead we watched him bomb the residential neighbourhoods of Baghdad. My companions screamed in terror as they watched their family and friends back home crushed to death in the houses and apartments along familiar streets. They were crying and weeping unconsolably. They felt they had been massively betrayed. Each time the Americans announced they had assassinated a resistance leader, they announced they had simultaneously killed a number of children because of cowardly remote-control warfare they indulge in. They knew that would happen. They must take responsibility for intending to kill the children.
