Re: Marines urinate on dead Taliban
No one hollered? We did much worse than hollering, my friend! NATO invaded AND bombed Afghanistan even further towards the middle ages than they were already. Supposedly in order to catch a criminal that wasn't even from there (Don't get me started on the real reason we want a presence in that area). Talk about hurting a lot of innocent civilians in the process of getting justice!
Taliban provided Afghanistan with a horrible rule of force before NATO invaded, no argument there! But I cannot imagine it being easy-going on a civilian in an invaded country, with a constant fear of intentional air raids, unintentional air raids, land mines, road bombs, getting caught in crossfire between the fighting parties, etc, etc. The fear, worry about the future and unpredictability of everyday life just adds insult to the injury afflicted by weapons. War is dirty business and we that sit comfortably at home here in the safe west can't even come close to realize how bad this war is for the civilians caught up in it.
