5 Afghan children killed in raids
KABUL, Afghanistan - Foreign and Afghan forces accidentally killed five children in two separate operations Monday, further undermining President Hamid Karzai after he demanded a halt to attacks in civilian areas.
The headline says it all. Five child were killed by Afghan and foreign (possibly American) forces this week. Dozens of innocent have been killed in the last few weeks. There have been reports that insurgents are making false claims of casualties to pin the Afghan soldiers against their government. The U.S. forces in Afghanistan are being blamed for deaths that they took no part in.
Throughout this entire war the good news to bad news ratio has been about 1 to 1000+. Five children have died in one day. It doesn't matter if it was U.S. troops or NATO troops, the children are dead. Everyone of these stories gets magnified even if they are not entirely true. Mistakes are inexcusable in war. Five children dead is a mistake.
Whats worse, one dead child or ten dead soldiers?
