Maybe so, but I'm afraid we are mowing them down by the hundreds even as I type. BBC World Service last night quoted refugees like these as saying our bombing of Kunduz, where there are supposedly 30,000 civilians trapped between the warring factions, was not really discriminating between military and civilian targets anymore. Enough of them in the Pakistani refugee camp had shrapnel wounds to convince the BBC reporter anyhow think they weren't making it up.
I don't blame our military; these poor people are just in the way, packed into a small area like sardines. And Pres. Bush has said, "We are all soldiers now."
I'm not saying our bombs haven't fallen on some innocent people, but who's to say some of those wounds were not caused by Taliban shelling as well? If some of those people were in villages where there were rebels or NA folks, the Tallies could have shot at them, also!
