Even if that wasn´t true...don´t they realize what they´re admitting too? I mean soldiers are EXPECTED to die when they go to war, it´s their JOB...but, also, civilians are not SUPPOSED be targeted.

But isn´t the US rationale exactly what suicide bombers are following? Aren´t they too bypassing what their opponents say are legitimate targets like heavily armed US soldeirs sitting on top of tanks with jet fighters patroling overhead? In their case it is not due to a fear of dying, as soldiers, but rather that their puny selves will make no impact when all they have are dynamite sticks...there isn´t a Muslim who wouldn´t rather have an army to fight in and with.

The United States HAD an army, an army that had been defeating the Japanese since the battle of Midway, chasing them from island to island...that Japan was losing the war was obvious...it was over fini, end...but the US wanted unconditional surrender so the Japanese held out and fought on...but, rather than continue doing what soldiers do, by definition, the United States decided to attack their innocent families instead...same tactic they used against the Indians.

If it´s okay for the United States to sidestep soldiers to attack their children instead, why can´t Muslims do the same, especially considering they have none of the weapons superiority AT ALL, and are NOT winning, as the US was against Japan....the situation is excatly reverse, the Muslim world is LOSING and has been for some time...so for them to use the same tactic the US used when WINNING, seems to me to be perfectly legitimate, as per the example given by the United States itself.
