STOP THE INSANITY!

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. This is all we do now, seemingly randomly. Anyone who still believes that Bush is any kind of a moral leader is just plain screwed in the head.

Six Afghan Children Killed in U.S. Strike

For the second time in a week, the U.S. military admitted Wednesday that Afghan children were killed in attacks against Taliban and al-Qaida suspects, crushed under a wall at a compound stacked with a fugitive militant's weapons.

Both assaults were in the Pashtun-dominated southeast and risked further alienating the country's largest ethnic group, from which the Taliban emerged and still draws its main support.

A U.S. military spokesman said six children died when a wall fell on them Friday night at a complex in eastern Paktia province. U.S. warplanes and special forces had attacked the compound, setting off secondary explosions, Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty said.

Afghans were outraged by the latest killings, which they said damaged the Americans' image in a nation desperate for security.
