I sincerely hoped to achieve my objectives without harming innocent civilians.

We strongly condemn this attack against innocent civilians,

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.

Well, really, let's get a grip here shall we? True enough, they were civilians of sort. But innocent? Give me a break.

I have to be very happy with the game. We set out to achieve one of our season's objectives by reaching the cup final, and produced another good performance.

The more our foreign policy is involved in killing innocent civilians, the more the youth will want an explanation, and if they are not getting that, then the kickback will be sometimes you will get that one-off person - like they did in London - who takes matters into their own hands.
