To the folks who are condemning Israel for the civilian casualties that they contributed to, please remember that The United States Of America caused over 100,000 civilian deaths during a three day period when they dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I would think that Americans can agree that when you are the object of unwarranted and unprovoked aggression, you defend yourself. Keeping civilian casualties to a minimum is a focus of most civilized nations, and Israel has shown an inspired restraint.
Oh yeah, and I just discovered that we removed the indigenous population of the Bikini Atoll before we tested bombs there. Took a nation of people and relocated them. That just doesn't sound right. Why those people? Why not Hawaiians?

Our government has been responsible for its share of atrocities over the years. The worst part, to me anyway, is that those in charge never seem to take their lessons from history.
