Imagine if Al Qaeda killed 30,000,000 American civilians, then bin Laden announced that none of those deaths counted since they all were collateral damage. Al Qaeda, as devout Muslims, did not intend to kill those people. The unfortunate folk just got in the way when Al Qaeda demolished buildings. Al Qaeda had after all warned those people to evacuate the cities. As proof of their good faith, they were building 50 schools to teach the word of Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him. That is how silly American protestations of innocence sound outside the USA.
