Well, I'm not sure which way this post is bent towards but it's like this.
First, The U.S. isn't attacking the afghani ppl, we are attacking the Taliban regime, a radical regime using religion
to try to gain support for their "holy war". To that end, we aren't attacking Islamic nations either..it's the Tailban radical movement. They've been warned before, they didn't listen. Will innocent civilians be killed..sadly yes, but the U.S. is serioulsy trying to minimize those casualties. Look at it like this, the Taliban are the ones that are setting up and using their civilians in war. They are placing men and artillery in villages because they know that the U.S. won't attack them. SOOO they are using these villagers to set an offensive against the u.s...an ambush kind of thing...that's them, not us.
Now on to the raccoons..it's called over-population and population control. Trapping them would probably the humane thing to do, but like it was stated before, "there will be more to take the place of those." Even if they are trapped, more will take their place, because raccoons are everywhere...it's all about population control....
