Maybe you guys should stop bashing your own country (towards america) like what are you doing to help/change anything?

 

Nothing

85 people are dead because of a ****-up on America's part. 85 people who had family, friends, and memories. This opens up the door for retaliation... More lives can potentially be lost because of unapologetic twatcakes such as yourself. You're not allowed to cry when the next terrorist attack happens, because you obviously hold zero regard for human life. 

 

Well...you technically could...but you would be a total hypocrite.

Twatcake 

Thats not true at all. I feel for these people, and i feel like these miscalculations are terrible. But it sucks that our country has no better idea then these air strikes and stuff, I was saying that instead of complaining about it, maybe everyone should see if they have a better idea on what to do. Doing nothing won't change anything either.

Maybe I got a little extra...this is a very difficult subject for me... 

So many people have turned to the very terrorist groups because of accidents like this. Maybe...things will get better with a new administration at the helm. 

As for becoming part of the solution...it isn't as easy as people say. Literally no-one is reporting these events. I believe the change starts with the government holding themselves accountable for their mistakes, and not preventing the media from doing their job. Once the powers that be begin making a change, that will open the door for others to begin to do so as well.

This but without the insult

And this too honestly. It's good to have the discussion though, that's something at least. We're also resigning ourselves to never approve of this nonsense.

We already know how to solve it really. Well, generally speaking the specifics are complicated. To combat terrorists groups like ISIS, we starve them of their influence. They convince people to fight against us by using things like this incident to "prove" that the U.S. and the Western world in general hates Muslims/Middle Easterners. If we could learn to put the guns down and lend a helping hand to the people in those areas, showing that we're not obsessed with ISIS' destruction, we're also concerned for the safety and well being of innocent civilians, then we'd win easily.

Using less radial language helps too 'cause this is as much a war of words as it is a traditional war. Obama's stance on not saying the term "radical Islam" is one that I love. I even used his quote as my signature 'cause it's the most honest thing I've seen in the media lately. I know that's weird seeing as his administration loves to use the drones but...still. If we stop acting like we're in some holy war with ISIS, that's another way we starve their influence and weaken their propaganda.

Will any of this get done? Trump wants to effectively carpet bomb the Middle East and hand nukes to other countries (and possibly use them ourselves) and Hillary isn't called a warhawk for nothing (even though she is the better choice here) so probably not. We can still make our voices heard on the subject though. If not to convince our leaders to take more care and not be so trigger happy, then to tell the people around the world that there are people here who see their struggles and we're not standing for it. Change will come in time if enough of us stand up against this garbage.

Life is much to precious to waste. So many lives have been taken on both sides of this conflict...so much potential wasted. I honestly believe we'll get there some day and I hope I'm part of the generation that's globally aware enough to spearhead that peaceful revolution.

Sorry, Pastor PartySick got carried away for a second 

Basically, love yourselves and each other goddamn it's not hard

Not bashing America, but this was another failure of our military in minimizing collateral damage. Foreigners see this sort of thing and associate Americans with these killings and take revenge on innocent American civilians, it creates a viscious cycle, and American leaders and generals ought to think about these things. I realize human error may happen, but too many lives are at stake not to take caution of picking their targets. One bomb kills 80 plus people there, another madmen uses a truck, bomb, or guns to kill 80 plus people here... will it ever stop?

And I hope people finally realize by now that major media outlets are pretty much extensions of US propaganda, by controlling the narrative... when the governments havw more control over the net, they might try to censor it like China does. Unfortunately... news also tends to be ethnocentric to the region it is being reported from... so it is very hard to find unbiased reports.
