I'm not sure what you mean by us not doing it intentionally. We know certain bombs will hit civilians. We know that a probability of error exists even in cases when we do not expect civilians to be included amongst the damage. We just don't care.

We could not fight that enemy. Just a thought.

I definitely laughed to the confusion of those around me.

Not really news of the day, but related to the whole war thing thing; Jihadist cockroaches vs murdering western invaders etc..

Council on Foreign Relations: Free Syria Army needs Al Queada..

CFR article

I'm sure it does. So what exactly is happening here? Our Islamist enemies fighting to overthrow Assad, alongside Syrians who genuinally want freedom, democracy etc. Al Queada want to establish an Islamic theocracy; in theory the polar opposite of what Assad presided over, and what the west want. I'd like to see a detailed breakdown of who we are actually suppprting in these uprisngs, how and why we are supporting them. I'm sorry, but I don't buy the BBC mantra that it's all about a spontaneous organic yearning for freedom. There's more going on in all this than makes the front pages...or more often than not the middle pages.

Assad is not an Islamist. He is neither Suuni or Shia. I think he is Aloite (?) but in any case, Assad is a secular dictator. Al Queada support the kind of Islamic theocracy that the Taliban presided over in Afghanistan for so long; no education for women, no music, no dancing, no fun etc etc..

Basically Assad is not a good man, but imo we don't want a country that borders Israel (among other reasons) falling into the hands of Islamic extremists, for blatantly obvious reasons. It may well not fall to islamists, but there is that risk, and we have used Al Queada before for our own ends. They are both a dangerous asset and a dangerous enemy. We just happen to have common foes. Lets not forget that it was the Carter government who first put together Al Queada to kick the Soviets out of Afghanistan.
