You know, it is easy for someone to post a video saying see what the American Military did, and showing the aftermath of who knows what???? How do we know that this was American bombing? How do we know that this was not some other form of violence committed by someone who opposes the presence of America in Iraq. Where is the proof. Yes it is horrible seeing dead bodies, especially those of women and children, but let us knot forget that there are how many unmarked graves in Iraq from the Saddam regime, containing the bodies of men, women and children. War is an ugly business, it is hell on earth, and while times have changed and the weapons used have become more precise, let me remind you of the bombing during WWII that took how many lives of innocent civilians trying to bring an end to the regimes of Hitler and Japan.

American soldiers, sailors and airmen do not make it a practice of hiding behind innocent civilians to protect themselves from enemy fire, more often than naught, they will risk their own lives to put themselves between the enemy and the people, the same cannot be said of the insurrgents who routine hide behind innocents, not to mention bomb police stations, markets, mosques and other areas where the people live, pray, shop and meet.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
