[QUOTE=BugZyZuncle;2213590]Where is the evidence of collateral damage? Give me an example of Alexanders army raping and pillaging, especially killing infants...[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]If one takes Alexander as a model, then the principal ingredient is total ruthlessness. Rebellious cities were sacked, their inhabitants killed or enslaved, and savage reprisals avenged the few military setbacks After a reverse in the valley of the Zeravshan, Alexander retaliated with systematic devastation of the whole agricultural area as far as the desert and killed all suspected sympathizers. If not genocide, it was mass killing. Added to that, Alexander forcibly recruited tens of thousands of youths of military age, had them trained in Macedonian weaponry, and earmarked them for fighting in the West. They never returned, and in their place Alexander established a permanent holding army of Westerners and a network of garrison cities where a military elite of settlers lorded it over the native population.

[QUOTE=BugZyZuncle]As for the bombings of WWII, don't single out Hiroshima and Nagasaki only. You have to include the English carpet bombing of Dresden Germany, and many other European cities in your diatribe to spread your agenda of hate against America. [/QUOTE]
My agenda of hate?
Please.
Give me a break.
