The inept hired guns in the US military are doing their best to make more and more people hate the United States. According to this article, US planes bombed a wedding and killed upwards of 40 people and injured many others. Most of the victims were women and children.
In Kandahar, one survivor, Abdul Qayyum, told reporters at the Mir Wais Hospital that the Americans came to the area demanding to know “who fired on the helicopters.”
“I said ‘I don’t know’ and one of the soldiers wanted to tie my hands but someone said he is an old man and out of the respect they didn’t,” he said.
Afghans often fire weapons during weddings in celebration.
Hospital officials said a number of wounded were being brought to Kandahar. Most of the dead and injured were women and children, they said.
“We have many children who are injured and who have no family,” nurse Mohammed Nadir said. “Their families are gone. The villagers brought these children and they have no parents. Everyone says that their parents are dead.”
This was at the bottom of the page on the Washington Post site. I guess if you’re an arab and you get mass-murdered by errant US bombs it doesn’t make big news anymore.
UPDATE: According to MSNBC, as many as 400 people were killed. That is absolutely insane. So, the death toll as it stands is American dead: 2,600 Afghan dead: 5,000.
