I wonder how many civilians have been killed by western military forces since 9/11?   32,000?   200,000?   Two million? 

Most of them killed by Muslims. I mean, the US conquest of Afghanistan and Iraq was quick and caused few civilian deaths. What caused so many deaths was the brutality of the terrorist forces which attacked them without regard to collateral damage, and attacked each other. Most of those who died in Afghanistan and Iraq were killed by Muslims, not western military forces.

I've said it before. The West has no interest in the middle east other than to ensure a level of stability which allows the importation (at great cost) of oil. How they order themselves there is irrelevant to us over here as long as it doesn't interfere with oil exports. Western intervention is always a result of violence and chaos there caused by Muslims. A stable government able to police its own territory and which doesn't attack others is not going to have any trouble from the West.
