U.S. Kills 60 Children

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan reported that the United States killed 90 civilians, including 60 children, in air strikes in the Shindand area of western Afghanistan. The report came from U.N. Special Envoy to Afghanistan Kai Eide after an investigation of the incident found credible evidence that bombing killed civilians, instead of the 30 militants the U.S. military had claimed were killed. The ongoing killing of innocent Afghani citizens has created growing tension between the government led by Hamid Karzai and the United States.

Here's what the Afghani's want:
"STATUS OF FORCE AGREEMENT"

It says the presence of the international community in Afghanistan must be reviewed through mutual agreement and reiterates previous government demands on banning air strikes on civilian targets, un-coordinated house searches and the illegal detention of Afghan civilians.

I am sure they want a lot of things. We want a lot of things in the United States as well. Most of us want our government to stop torturing people, at least those of us with intelligence (it gives bad intel). Many, many of us want an impeachment of the President. It doesn't look like many of the things so desired will ever be attained.

I will continue demanding justice even after Chimpy and Dick leave office. They should be prosecuted for their crimes. There's still Hope. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed,
