But this brings me back to the two presumably humanitarian wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. How many people in Afghanistan and how many people in Iraq have died thus far in these two American-led wars? How many of the dead were supposed al Qaeda criminals? And how many of the dead were not al Qaeda criminals but so-called collateral damage? And why have the American-led forces in these two wars been allowed to bring about the deaths of so many people as collateral damage? What is being gained by killing so many people as collateral damage in these two American-led wars?
If we were to try to apply the principle of proportionality to these two wars, what exactly are all the deaths attributed to collateral damage in Afghanistan and Iraq thus far supposed to be in proportion to? From what I can gather, the number of deaths attributed to collateral damage far exceeds the numbers of deaths in the attacks on September 11, 2001.
For humanitarian reasons, President Obama, you should stop the deaths inflicted by the American-led forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
