Not any more than Israel or your own nation.
My nation has never targeted civilians, unlike hezbollah, and Israel is irrelevent to this conversation. The Israeli civil war is no more the USA's concern than it is Iran's concern.

They do sey "hey" because they are very close allies of the USA. what's your point?

Both attacked the USA first (Japan pearl harbor, Afghanistan 9/11), and the USA helped both get back on their feet after we defeated them. so what's yur point? That the USA doesn't just bomb and run? that we actually stick around and help our enemies after they are defeated? You think that's the wrong thing to do? Shame on us for being so generous.

Don't try twist it and change the point. You said you have never targeted Civilians. Something which is not true, which was bought to your attention. Nothing about "We don't bomb and run". You HAVE targeted and killed numerous Civilians. More than Hezbollah have in fact. Of course though the western world media would label anyone who refuses to back down to Israel and the U.S as "Terrorists". I mean how dare they actually put up a fight when their land is being invaded and kids are being killed due to air strikes on their homeland.

if you have evidence of the USA targeting civilians I recommend you inform the Guardian or the New York Times, because that would be front page news. Why are you wasting time talking to me if you have such important and ground breaking news?

Refer to US Drone Strikes in Pakistan.

Quote:
On 14 July 2009, Daniel L. Byman of the Brookings Institution stated that although accurate data on the results of drone strikes is difficult to obtain, it seemed that ten civilians had died in the drone attacks for every militant killed. He suggested that drone strikes may kill "10 or so civilians" for every militant killed, which would represent a civilian to combatant casualty ratio of 10:1
Drone strikes, at times killing civilians, have been such a common occurrence in Pakistan for the past few years.
