Gaddafi's son + 3 grandkids killed in Nato strike

I think this is appalling. It has been all over the news today. It can not be justified to target the family of someone, even if that someone is a bad evil man. It certainly can not be justified to wipe out three of his young grandchildren. In wars, and military campaigns in general, the targeting of combatants is justified. Attacking a suburban house where you know that person's family are is out of order. What do other people think?

No need to fear its alright as they are doing to prevent civilian deaths..amazing what you can get away with when thats your rules of engagement!

The bastard shouldn't have been where he was then should he?

I bet all those sheep they died on the behalf of feel some much safer/better now for their sacrifice and of course a certain Mrs thatcher as well after all nothing wins votes like a nice little war.

Actually is the Falklands able to be classed as a war?

Those who live by the sword or gun, die by them ! The US used no
drone missiles that could have killed far more innocents but attacked the
compound in a classic undercover raid. People die in such firefights
and Osama got what he deserved. If there is a Hell I hope he rots
there !

Thats Osama Bin Laden not General Gadaffi.
