I have never seen any numbers on how many Afgan citizens were killed. I also have not seen if those numbers broke out the truly innocent ones and the ones who took up arms against the US or the ones who when captured and while being search, blew themselves and others up with a hidden grenade. From everything I read, the US went to extraordinary precautions to protect the safety of the general public.
I wonder if you are equally outraged at the lives lost due to car accidents. Do you believe we should ban cars because of the risk to human life? I find the argument that we should never respond to attacks because someone may die - not well thought out.
I'm not saying you were unclear, I'm saying I disagree with you. The winning side in a war always kills more people than the losing side. Are we supposed to be outraged by this inevitable fact of life?
War itself is a moral outrage. That is why we need to be sure of our justification before embarking on one. The 9/11 attacks certainly provided all the justification we needed to go to war with those who planned and ordered those attacks, and the nation which harbored them and refused to give them up.
