Note: I&#x27;m replying to myself because superuser2 deleted his comment just before I finished mine[1]. I put a decent amount of effort into my reply, so I&#x27;d rather not let it go to waste.<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t know. Let&#x27;s ask President Obama why he bombed a hospital and gunned down survivors as they ran away.
Western foreign policy kills innocent people. Sometimes they&#x27;re angry enough about it to kill you right back.<p>If you&#x27;re talking about the Kunduz incident, your statement is absurd. Obama didn&#x27;t know about the airstrike until afterwards. More importantly: US forces didn&#x27;t intend to kill civilians. They mistakenly believed the building was being used by Taliban to fire upon coalition forces. It was a huge fuck-up. There is a big investigation. People will probably go to jail over it. Everyone involved agrees it&#x27;s a tragedy.<p>Now contrast that to the Paris attacks. These deaths weren&#x27;t an accident or collateral damage. The fanatics intended to kill as many innocent civilians as possible. They would have killed more if they&#x27;d had the ability to do so.<p>And notice the difference in reactions. After the hospital bombing, no Americans celebrated in the streets. Even the most hawkish politicians expressed their sadness at the tragedy. If you read Obama&#x27;s statement, it&#x27;s nothing but apologetic.[2] Now read the Islamic State&#x27;s statement on the Paris attacks.[3] They praise the attackers and promise more to come. The two sides cannot be more different. You should feel ashamed for your equivocation.<p>1.
