Why the yoghurt-knitting Guardianista seem to think that there will be so many civilian casualties is beyond me - they obviously still think we're using SNEB rocket packs, cluster weapons and iron bombs - idiots!
Trouble is Leon, as the old saying goes, bombs and bullets don't kill people; people kill people. And I'm sure the patients and staff of the MSF hospital in Kunduz didn't really care if it was a SNEB rocket or a Paveway but they would have cared that faulty intelligence led to them being bombed - human error.

There is ALWAYS collateral damage, a fact of war that should be taken into account. My concern that it will encourage the collateral to spread to the UK.

And just who do we want to win in the end? I know who I want but I'm not sure UK Gov has got the balls to agree...
