#1 I do feel sorry for the good guys caught in this war. All three of them - or is it four?

#3 ..why do you restrict it just to the ME? see - Bangladesh
In March 1971, the Pakistani Army began "Operation Searchlight," which targeted intellectuals, political activists, Hindus and other minorities.[2] The figure of people killed by Pakistani forces remains disputed, with estimates ranging from 300,000 to 3 million [3][4] about 8-10 million people became refugees in India.[5] - wiki

We don't need to scratch our way back to Tamerlane. All the anti-Western Civ traitors keep bringing up the Crusades which did about a speed bump in human carnage that their near contemporary managed to rack up among his own Muslims.

#5 You guys don't read The Guardian nearly enough. Here, let's take a quiz.

Which of the following most requires universal condemnation and a war crimes trial?

a- A Moslem dictator killing very man, woman and child in a town

b- An incensed Taliban throwing acid on a woman's face

c- A US soldier in a heavy firefight shooting a civilian carrying a long cylindrical object instead of a terrorist carrying an RPG launcher

d- An Israeli not looking both ways before he crosses the street

Never mind. That's really too easy.

#6 I dunno, Matt. I can't tell if it's C or D.
