...between deliberately attacking civilians and being willing to kill civilians as collateral damage, when you know there is a 100% chance that some civilians will die as a result of your attacks on military targets? In both cases, the attackers justify their actions by assuming some greater good will result from the deaths. We attack Iraq knowing full well that civilians will die, and we justify those deaths with lies and deceit. This is a fact. It has happened.

And who is more depraved?
