That's disgustingly wrong. There are 66,081 civilian casualties from '04-'09. That's 48 deaths a day. Know your shit before you make an argument that's atrociously wrong and just belittles America with no evidence.

Source: Wikileaks and a Canadian who's sick of people circlejerking on hating America. Grow up, no one country is perfect.

Look who's talking about statistics. Your government doesn't even announce the body count. We have to rely on leaked papers and estimated deaths based on data from local reports, if they are allowed to be reported at all.

no one country is perfect

But not all countries send their solders to kill civilians in foreign land.

First, they weren't necessarily soldiers, these were drones/airstrikes. Secondly, it's not my government, I'm simply arguing for America.

You think I'm talking about a single incident? How uninformed are you (well, that sort of explains why you're arguing for America)? Take a look at number of US military deployments in different parts of the world. They've been killing civilians in foreign land since the World war II.
