air strike kills 40

"Lt. Col Ziyad al-Jbouri, deputy police chief of the city of Ramadi, said between 42 and 45 people died in the attack, which took place about 2:45 a.m. in a remote desert area near the border with Syria and Jordan. He said those killed included 15 children and 10 women."

"In July 2002, Afghan officials said 48 civilians at a wedding party were killed and 117 wounded by a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan's Uruzgan province. An investigative report released by the U.S. Central Command said the airstrike was justified because American planes had come under fire."

What is not justified? I mean if our booming planes and helicopters come under fire or hear gunshots how could any one argue that we are not justified in booming potential hostile targets. Sure it’s a tragedy that a bunch of people where murdered… but lets not look at the means it is the ends that are relevant. We are giving them freedom, liberation from and internal violent oppressive elements. Evil must be destroyed; destruction is the only response to those that would destroy.

<Read even more bad Irony>
Just think how many weddings where secretly insurgent meetings… people organizing to kill the very Americans who are liberating them. These insurgents are people with such a basic hatred for freedom that they would attack the very people who are liberating them. We are nobly occupying their country and providing un-tangible amounts of freedom and equality for all Iraqis and they have the gall to point out a few our actions that have nothing to do with what we are doing there. As if the means of accomplishing anything have any relevance on the ends we strive for.
If we say we are giving them freedom then it is absolutely impossible that we have any other motives and that our actions have any other relevance.
