Dude, seriously?
Yes, in 2001 when we removed the Taliban from government we did in fact bomb major cities. For the most part, it was surgical strikes. But the truth is no matter how many "smart bombs" are dropped, mistakes are made and shit happens.
This is very simple. Country "A" says "give us X or else" and country "B" says "no, fuck off". Country "B", it's government, and the people that put that government in place then suffer the consequences. Yes, innocent people will get killed.
It's not like the US invaded Afghanistan for no reason. We had a valid reason to go in, period.
