No one is glib about collateral deaths and please don’t put words in my mouth as you just did above. When we have collateral deaths, people feel very guilty about it. Usually for the rest of their life. However, it is not murder it is an accident. Yes intent matters, if someone runs in front of your car and you kill him or her that is an accident not murder.
With regard to the present operation in Falujah, 75% of the population had the good sense to leave when we gave them a chance. Good people who care about their families take every opportunity to keep them safe. Odds are that most remaining people are looters or shooters.
