I recall a Christian guy about to marry a Muslim woman. Endless debates. Parents, Ok. All organised, dress, food.

His father destroyed Hama in 1982.

Americans bombed Belgrade in 1998. They destroyed bridges across the Danube.

(The Americans claimed that it was a mistake; people were on training. I suspect this claim is true.)
