Our friend has been claiming it is policy.
A most absurd statement IMHO.


It is indeed an absurd statement.

So why are they still bombing weddings?

Are you suggesting that Americans bomb weddings because they don't like
weddings? What are they getting out of bombing weddings besides bad p.r.?


I'm saying they bomb weddings because they refuse to take note of the
culture of the people on their side that they're killing.


How many weddings has the U.S. actually struck?

I'd say your wrong.
There are any number of training publications stressing the need to
understand the culture in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Because Muslims still have not learnt that guns are not toys.

Given. The Americans don't bomb innocent civilians intentionally.


Not an error. Merely an unfortunate confluence of events.
