Afghans protest outside US Embassy
Press TV ^ | July 30th 2010 | Agencies

Afghans staged anti-US demonstration out outside the United States Embassy in Kabul, condemning the killing of civilians by foreign forces.

The Anti-American protests followed an incident in which a US military vehicle collided with an Afghan civilian car in the center of Kabul city, killing at least four civilians, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Demonstrators chanted anti-US slogans and set fire to two vehicles belonging to the US Embassy.

The protesters threw stones at NATO forces and scuffled with Afghan security forces as they marched toward the embassy compound.

Afghan officials say the demonstrators have been dispersed and the situation is under control in the heavily-fortified area of the capital.

This astonishes me. The Afgans have been at war with themselves for centuries but they have time to protest a traffic accident that killed 4? Why not protest that each tribe willingly kills others (innocents included) every day of the year.

A friend of mine was there on the scene today, and he emailed me that it was a full scale riot that broke out after the accident, with at least 14 killed and 60 wounded in the mob.

The Afghans were chanting "Death to Karzai! death to America!"

Not good...

Let’s leave and then have a discussion about how many civilians get killed.

Because that's not Americans who killed someone so no one would listen to the protest.

So true, but my sense of decency will never let me forget human atrocities because of a man’s false pride.

Are they also going to protest those thousands of Afghanis killed by the Taliban in the last 10 years?
