It seems like such a terrible shame that innocent civilians have to get hurt in wars, otherwise combat would be such a wonderfully healthy way to rid the human race of unneeded trash.
Fred Woodworth
[on the Iraq war] "One hopes that this kind of war can be done diplomatically, with intelligence rather than wiping out a lot of innocent civilians."
Martin Scorsese
You have a group of people in there who are possibly responsible for terrorist activities, according to the Israeli side, ... and at the same time you have many innocent civilians and religious people in there, and they`re all mixed up together in a place...
Andrew White
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren`t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That`s war. And this is war.
Ann Coulter
We have received credible reports that show a clear and consistent pattern: entire villages are looted, burned down and sometimes bombed. Large numbers of civilians have been killed and scores of women and children have been abducted, raped and tortured.
Alfredo Viegas
We are at war to liberate Iraq, to protect the people of the United States and other countries from the devastating impact of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction being used by terrorists or the Iraqi government to kill thousands of innocent civilians.
Amy Baylor
Unprovoked attacks on Israel`s borders, murdering Israeli soldiers, taking Israeli hostages and showering rockets targeting and killing Israeli civilians are not furthering any legitimate goal.
Aiko Uemura
Today`s terrorists are pursuing a distinct route. They are increasingly attacking civilians in symbolic targets, such as those of economic importance, or venues of bustling life like public transportation or entertainment, like nightclubs.
Alan Lloyd
There is no moral equivalency between those who would kill using children, innocent civilians, children and adults, in their homes and in their places of worship, to that of a government that is seeking those terrorists before they can engage in that awfu...
George Pataki
The war against terrorism should not be used to interfere with an independent, sovereign state. We need to identify concrete terrorist targets and do no harm to civilians.
Amir Peretz
The United States armed forces and coalition troops deserve recognition and support for their work to remove Saddam Hussein from power, and ensure the safety and security of the American people, civilians abroad, and the people of Iraq.
Mark Kennedy
The destruction of civilian hamlets, the killing and the wounding of civilians, became vastly greater than it had been before, and it was very upsetting; but I still couldn`t bring myself to understand that the policy itself was wrong.
Neil Sheehan
Secondly, the Government of Sudan should commit to the disarmament and control of the Janjaweed militia and ensure that the targeting of civilians ceases immediately.
Alfredo Viegas
Sacrificing American soldiers or innocent civilians in an unprecedented preemptive attack on a separate sovereign nation may well prove itself a most temporary medicine.
Sean Penn
Osama bin Laden`s own words stated he has a war against the United States. He declared that American civilians should be considered as combatants.
Alan Lucas
Obviously this is the world descending into worse and worse standards of targeting civilians both in state violence in Iraq, Gaza and so on and the terrorist retaliation.
Alan Labrosse
No one enjoys war at all. There is no good thing about war. It happens. Unfortunately, the people that seem to suffer the most in a war zone are the civilians, the people who should be protected.
Robert Gray
It is vital that Iraq and the United States together send the clearest possible signal that those who commit acts of violence against American military forces and American civilians will not be rewarded with amnesty.
Alexis Gordon
It is changing the face of terrorism. It is basically bringing it to the United States, to our great citizens. We know the terrorists are barbaric and murderers that attack innocent civilians, as they did in this case.
Alexei Ponikarovsky
I think it is tragic that a situation should arise where civilians on any side are killed. But it is almost a cliche to say that it is virtually unavoidable and this isn`t unique to us alone.
Alice Paul
