    Soldiers fighting in a war gets killed? You're kidding me, right?

    That sweet, sweet, cultural enrichment.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Actually by what I understood he was in his own country, not fighting in a war, when they attacked and killed him.

    ....And that kinda dispels the illusion that a country can wage war somewhere else without the war affecting your own country, doesn't it?

    True. When a country is at war it's own population is affected.
    That does not justify the soldier's death. It was murder, not war.

    Edit:
    Found a video of one of the murderers. He does not sound Arabic at all.

    Of course, and I am not in the business of justifying deaths.

    This isn't the first time in Britain though, the Troubles was "not a war" too.

    And at the end of the day, I feel happier when soldiers are targeted than when civilians are targeted.

    As usual, Britain is behind the colonials on this:

    Not in a war. On the streets of London.

    A real class act, that.

    and conceals from the stupid,
