    I'm pretty sure that had less to do with the destruction of the buildings and more to do with the deaths of the people inside them.

    Really depends on the intent behind some acts. If it was done with malice then there definitely should be punishments. Raping, pilaging, torturing all should not happen. But some things like this will happen because there is a war. I don't support the war but I don't look to much into something like this happening.

    I was just trying to show the argument that no one should care about Babylon because the twin towers were hit was flawed. Especially he's trying to draw comparisons betweened the two.

    I expect (and accept) accidents in war. I don't accept stupidity, ignorance, or incompetence. Whether it's intentionally ordering a base to be established on the birthplace of civilization, tortue, or the lack of sufficient armor on our vehicles.

    This article is yet another example of confirmation bias.
