O.K., lets suppose that the National Guard, in the process of protecting your community, accidentally massacred every member of your family and your extended family - and then apoligized. Would this make you feel (a)happy; (b) indifferent; (c) mildly annoyed or (d) extremely pissed off.
I would certainly forgive anyone who chose (d) and I certainly wouldn't expect any Afghani to be very happy in the same kind of situation. Mistakes are much easier to forgive when they happen to someone else's family.

Civillians are a casuality of war, face it. We are getting vengence for the nearly 3,000 people that died on American soil on Sept. 11.
Not saying that we did it on purpose or that it was right, but hello?

the pilot felt they were enemy forces and possibly had anti aircraft weapons He was probably right.

I'm not saying we should go around killing innocent civilians.
However, the Afgans need to buy or rent a clue. Firing weapons into the air as part of a wedding or other celebration, while the US AirForce is looking for, say bands of people with automatic weapons, is probably not the smartest of activities.
I will offer this clue for free. Change your ways for a while and stop the celebratory "rock and roll" blasts with the Kalishnakovs(sic?) until you are told it's ok. This way, those muzzle flashes on the ground, and perhaps the tracer rounds won't be mistaken for AAA by some nervous pilots.
Understand?

Your acceptance disappoints me...
Remember the "massacre" that the Israelis commited? Bull**** newspaper posts that they killed 400 Palestinians. When someone actually researches it, it was like 40 armed fighters who also killed like 40. My numbers are off, because I care not to remember, but you catch my drift?
I believe I've heard of an AA gun at this so-called wedding, and that this location was being monitored for awhile by US forces as it has attempted to attack US planes.

Every non-leftist news report I have read clearly states that AAA fire was coming from the area.
It is not uncommon for the morons in that part of the world to hide weapons among civilians and use their asses for cover.
For example, our good friend Saddam likes to hide chemical weapons facilities next to schools. He also likes to place civilians in bunkers thinking a moral enemy (that would be us) would never purpously strike civilians.
My $$$ is on the pilot made the right call.

[/QUOTE]Are you done? Remember whats go around comes around. If we went over and started doing what you said don't you think somebody would strike back. Hell the majority of the world hates the United States already. I don't think we need to give them a REAL reason to hate us. Do you?[/QB][/QUOTE]
the majority of the world hates us no matter what we do..they'll send every citizen they can here to glom off our education and financial resources yet they hate us
