Peace prize winners do not escalate wars, no matter how "noble and righteous" he tries to convince the people they are. At least winners of legitimate peace prizes.

Military aviation is inherently dangerous. Sadly, we lose people every year in domestic accidents. Who/what do you blame for those deaths?

Our involvement in Afghanistan perhaps? The RPG that killed the 10 soldiers was an "accident"?

Hey, Dubya...glad to see you've come out of retirement to join us at city-data! Trying the "we've got to fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" with Afghanistan too? Very clever!
