cerasi:I'll get you reports if you like.
Might I ask, what are your reports for Afghanistan people "wanting" the US to wage war on their country to remove the Taliban?

War is hell. Innocent people are killed in an unjust and in a just war. In WWII, innocent people were killed by the millions. Does this mean that the Allies shouldn't have attacked Hitler to stop his conquest of Europe and (indirectly) his massacre of those he deemed unworthy of living?

The war is justified, but its execution is not. This is why we need new leadership and tactics and Afghanistan, and this is what Obama offers as Commander-In-Chief.
