Again who is truly innocent in war? It takes at least two sides to start a war. In ghe end, it doesn't matter who started or provoked the war, just that the war is being fought. Innocents have been caught up in every war and died. You think any of them are going to care who started it in the first place? In World War 2, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing lots of innocents.

And who do you consider innocent? The ones that have no part in the war but were drawn into it anyway and were forced to fight? The ones that are trying to live out their regular lives while thw war is waging around them? Innocent lives are lost not just due to one side, but all the sides.
