9/11 was meant as an attack on America and its symbols. The two towers were a great tragedy because so many civilians died. Nobody, including me justified that. But there was also an attack on the pentagon, and also a missed one for the whitehouse. They were clearly not just attacking civilians.

9/11 was targeting civilians, the Iraq war wasn't. In war, civilians die, it is something that cannot be prevented. However, civilians are almost never the intended target for slaughter. On 9/11, they were.
This made me chuckle. In war especially since they started bombing raids civilians are the onyl casualties. How do you think the US army killed off 3,000,000 Viets and losing so few of their own troops? They bombed civilians.

And if you think that those people(in Iraq) were maybe in the way of the army to kill the terrorists then think again. Anyone in Iraq could easily become a terrorist. There's AKs and grenade launchers all over the place now. Anyone can a terrorist. You don't necessarily have to be fanatic, you just have to be angry enough.
