The Taliban moved troops into Civilian areas.
That has *not* resulted in our bombing of those civilian areas - yet - and if we do, we will be trying our hardest *not* to hit civilians.
That's the difference between "us and them".
And you keep making a distinction between OBL and the Taliban - despite the testimony of most involved that they are tied at the hip, and would have been involved with the bombing. They certainly were running "training camps".
The US goal appears to be to remove the Taliban from power, as part of the strike against terrorism.
If you hide behind civilians, and the civilians are hit, who's fault is that?
Its a damn shame, but you *cannot avoid* accidentally killing people who were not your target.
So who's responsibility is it? The person shooting, or the person trying to use the shooters sensiblities against them by hiding behind someone "innocent"?
Remember, the Taliban has said that there *are no "innocent" Americans".
