Killing children

Previous war crimes that indicate we have lost in Afghanistan

  • February 2012: Violent protests erupt after US troops inadvertently burn copies of the Koran at Bagram air base in Kabul. At least 30 are killed.
  • January 2012: US and UN officials describe a video clip of US marines urinating on dead Afghans as "disgusting" and "inhuman"
And then there is this:  'Intentional murders'
In a statement, Mr Karzai described the deaths in Kandahar as "intentional murders".  "When Afghan people are killed deliberately by US forces this action is murder and terror and an unforgivable action," he said. (BBC)
+++++++++++++++++
I am guessing that US troops are in Afghanistan for the same reasons that they were in Iraq:  To bring those poor souls living there the freedom of the grave and the democracy of death.  It was reported that nine children were killed in this attack.  And children are still dying in Iraq and Vietnam from the poison the US military left behind, but we killed children in Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan with drone bombings in the last few days.

We are killers of children.
