(computer science) the process of carrying out an instruction by a computer
(law) the completion of a legal instrument (such as a contract or deed) by signing it (and perhaps sealing and delivering it) so that it becomes legally binding and enforceable
a routine court order that attempts to enforce the judgment that has been granted to a plaintiff by authorizing a sheriff to carry it out
the act of accomplishing some aim or executing some order; "the agency was created for the implementation of the policy"

wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwnExecution is the act of putting a person to death, with or without judicial process (for cases under judicial process, see capital punishment). Military executions are typically by firing squad (for violations of orders in wartime or the laws of war) or by hanging (typically for cowardice, or commission of atrocities or other crimes).

Does not mention bombing someone there.
I honestly think that if you had your way you would have us bring our troops home and charge them all with murder, Is that what you think ?

That is because they targeted civilian areas , Take my home town of Warrington, They blew up a Mcdonalds on a Saturday afternoon when all the kids were there. There are no solders or military targets there ?. Now that is not what the lads serving in iraq are doing or do you think differently ?
As has been said here, If you have been involved in operations and have been at the sharp end then you WILL know that everything in war is not black and white, Its a nasty horrible business that leaves a mark on anyone involved, If you have had to make that decision as to whether you pull the trigger or not on a 120mm tank gun with real people on the receiving end then you will know its not a decisions made lightly ?. Our troops some of them only 18 " my lad as just returned from 6 months in Afghanistan" have to make that decision everyday and then have to live with it for the rest of there lives.
