To note one death

A 12 year old Iraqi girl was shot and killed by US troops in Mosul on March 17, 2009.
Although violence is down in Iraq, there is still plenty of killing going on.

The US military said this:

The US military says a 12-year-old girl has been killed when American soldiers fired at a vehicle speeding toward them and Iraqi police near the northern city of Mosul.

The military says the Americans fired two warning shots when the vehicle ignored signals for it to stop near the Hurriyah Iraqi police station.

The military says the girl was standing about 100 yards (meters) behind the vehicle and was struck by one of the rounds.

The local police said this:

Iraqi police say the girl was shot while in a car with her father near an American base.

Hard to say exactly what happened, all we know for sure is that US troops killed a 12 year old innocent, and her family is surely devestated by loss and grief. And we know she was killed in an illegal and immoral war of aggression, nearly six years after the US troops first arrived. Some US politicians called this a 'preventative war'. This war and occupation were widely supported by the US public in 2003.

May she rest in peace

May God forgive America.
