Kevin -
I don't mean that the US has not been responsible for killing innocent people - I mean that I do not believe the US fires artillery into apartment buildings with complete disregard for the civilians inside it.
It may not make much difference to dead civilians that they were killed either by accident or by standing too close to a known terrorist, and not by the indiscriminate use of heavy weapons, but it does make a difference to popular opinion, I think.
Not sure how successful the rational can be when trying to explain to the far left mentally ill a point like this, even one that is neither particularly hard to grasp or nuanced.
To the mentally ill far left, the US/Israel is guilty no matter what they do or what the circumstances are, and their purported "allies" - such as the scumbag filth of the earth murderers like iran and syria - can slaughter thousands but are always innocent, misunderstood, a victim of Western propaganda, etc. This was the same BS the anti-viet nam assholes cried back then, unfortunately for them there was no internet to pollute with this garbage, it had to be spread by irresponsible, clueless HS teachers.
To this trash, the US while accidentally killing a few civilians is equivalent to al qaeda in iraq suicide bombing thousands there, shia militias firing mortars into apartment buildings, and ass-ad doing the same - and far worse. There is no discussing with this mentally ill filth, if they actually believe the garbage that they write, if not they are simply here to troll.
