[QUOTE="BlackAndy, post: 50724679, member: 171102"] AYou do realize that were the US-led forces to apply the same tactics in this fight as the enemy the war would be over, right? If we were to just kill indiscriminately (the way they do) there wouldn't be a man standing in that region... There are civilian casualties in every war - the difference being, in this conflict the enemy targets them. You are sympathizing with the wrong side. Nope. They evoked the name of Allah and said they were doing it because we are the devil. The bold type is BS. Get your facts straight. And you continue to gloss over the fact that civilian deaths are largely due to the enemy hiding in and among the civilian populace. If we are to just throw our hands up in the air and let them be because "we can't get to them without risk" then the war is lost, they win, we leave, and they overrun Afghanistan again... and the civilians CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT THAT. Just like in Iraq, the civilian population is going to have to get involved and not allow themselves to be used by the enemy. How would you have them treated then? Give them the legal rights of an American citizen? Show me one time in the history of warfare when the captured enemy has every been given such treatment. They are being fed and housed. That's good enough. They took up arms against Afghanistan and coalition forces. Their mistake. [/QUOTE]
