Osama: killed 3,000 civilians in NYC in 2001.

Bush/Obama: killed 14,000-34,000 civilians in Afghanistan from 2001-2011, and counting.

I've gotta ask a few questions whenever I hear something like this spouted off. 1.where exactly did this figure come from?
2. Were they "civilians" or combatants or hangers on of radical islamists?
3. Did the U.S. actually kill them or was it the tallyban/al kinda?

Worth bearing in mind is that it's almost impossible to figure out exactly whom is responsible for civilian deaths.

Even if they were radical islamists, what right do you think the US has to occupy THEIR country. The few couple hundred Al Qaeda activists have long left Afghanistan and moved on to Iraq.

Who's country ?

When the U.S. entered Afganistan the country didn't even have a flag much less a government.

The taliban, Afganistan's version of the Crips or Bloods, ran things using very extreme violence.
