See also, the infamous "collateral damage" video on LiveLeak. I will not link it here, because of how absolutely horrific it is. Do not seek it out if you value

  There are so many videos like that out there. The fact that two Reuters journalists were killed in the "collateral murder" video is notable, but unfortunately children and first responders being killed is not out of the ordinary. Yesterday I posted a compilation of Apache gunships blowing up black and white silhouettes of people and massive expanses of land. I don't buy for a second that the US military or their contractors really know anything about the people they are killing, beyond the fact that they have identified with certain groups for reasons that could range from nationalism to just plain self-preservation and a salary. It is undebatable that most of the 1,000,000s of people who died in the Middle East in the last 15 years were not guilty of any crime, and even if they were the US consistently provided no proof before incinerating them extra-judicially.

  The video is very sad. I feel the news in the UK is way way way too soft. All citizens should see the real cost of war. It is so easy to just be ignorant. "oh that, yawn". If people aren't shown it, how can they ever judge (with a vote at the ballot box) to be for or against it.
