Killing Civilians: Punishing Those Not Responsible

All the Time

In many combat operations, direct and indirect fighting causes more civilian casualties and deaths than military. People who do not want to fight, who have chosen not to fight, are killed for whatever arbitrary reason a needy, greedy, or angry government proclaims. The lowest recorded civilian casualty rate in a war is 13%. The absolute minimum number of innocent people being killed by belligerent countries is greater than one in every ten people killed. Countries, especially powerful countries, are not behaving responsibly and are not held accountable for their irresponsibility and cruelty.
