Either one, before or after the war. Death is death, and people are affected by it whenever it happens, in war or outside of war.
No, helping out allies is important, but too often we take a hostile attitude towards people who don't treat us as liberators when we bring troops into their country, invited or not. I am saying we should learn from our own history.
Many of the Founding Fathers were terrorists. Boston Tea Party, an act of terrorism. They were radicals and extremists. Yet those people are our heroes.
America today is incredibly similar to Britain then. We have a hard time taking a step back and looking at our actions from both sides of the table.

When did this happen in the gulf war? Once again... i'm going to have to ask for a source.
Is your arguement that we should of taken a completely defensive war in the gulf war. (Which would of still pissed off Osama.)
Also we would of had to invade Kuwait... since Iraq already had invaded Kuwait.
Also even then we would of had to bomb iraq or something... as pureley defensive wars never work and end up causing more damage to your allies.

Do I really need a link to claim that some people living in the Middle East during the Gulf War were not happy we intervened at that some Americans took offense to that?
But I still maintain my claim that it is a little bit hypocritical of us to take such an unsympathetic view towards terrorists when many of the Founders of our country were actually terrorists.

So you think nobody in the middle east would of been unhappy if we didn't intervene? What us with our world class army who could help out our allies in no time flat... but instead abandoned are allies at their time of need?
As for it being hypocritical about us being unsympathetic to terrorists. Not really... I mean they are trying to actually harm us personally. I mean. That's like saying you and I are hypocritical for hating Andrew Jackson yet not offering our land to every native american we see on the street. (Not that either of us owned land. But if we did.)
The funding of terrorists to overthrow other governments... then complainging people are doing the same thing. That's hypocritical. Also something i'm against.
