I wonder how many civilian casualties we've inflicted in this campaign to prevent civilian casualties.

Let's just say it out loud and have done with it. Several western nations have decided to provide one side in a civil war with the air and artillery support it has none of, and without which it would have been defeated last week. This is not a no-fly zone. This is armed intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, for selfish political purposes, and the inevitable result will be the same civilian casualties we are so huffy about when the other side inflicts them.

Sad. Had we set up a true no-fly zone a month or so ago, it might've done some good. Now, we just live another lie. "All is gained save honor."
