Civilian casualties of war

As the media keeps telling us, many civilians have lost their lives in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. People are rightly upset over these losses. I ask you to put some Honest thought on the subject though.

Ask yourself how many civilians were willfully killed in the following conflicts:
- World War I
- World War II
- Korean War (1950-1953)
- Vietnam War
- The Gulf War
- Bosnian Civil War
- Rwanda

If you were never outraged by the civilian losses during these wars, if you never yelled in moral angst, if you never thought about the six figure casualty statistics resulting from the dropping of two atom bombs on Japan: What is your problem? Why are you speaking up now? Why don't you go against war itself? Don't be short sighted. Look at the real cost of war and understand that while horrific, the civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan are tiny compared to other conflicts let alone all of them together.
