how many dozens or less of innocents have mistakenly been killed?!!?

You watch CNN, right ?

Even the Wahington Post would open you eyes:

The chairman of CNN has ordered his staff to balance images of civilian devastation in Afghan cities with reminders that the Taliban harbors murderous terrorists, saying it "seems perverse to focus too much on the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14435-2001Oct30.html

By 6 th of December about 3700 civilians were killed by US bombs... http://cursor.org/stories/civilian_deaths.htm

And not counting those who dying of cold and hunger by the 100 a day because noone looking after the refugee camps and it aleady were bad harvest last year and as usual the US killed the whole infrastructure there is no clean water, transport not to mention medicines...

And the Pentagon did not even made an attempt to count its victims, every other claims just get dismissed with the 'can not independently confirm' mantra

I don't have time to go to your site right now, but what I do know is that just about every single report of massive casualties was subsequently debunked as propaganda. Considering how many HUNDREDS of TONS of bombs we have dropped over there, even the (likely false) number of 3700 innocent casualties is incredibly, unbelievebly luckily low. Besides, if there were thousands upon thousands of innocents being killed over there, don't you think our liberal media (that hate Bush) would be all over it? They have tried and tried and just about every report of civilian casualties turns up false.

Didn't we start dropping humanitarian aid before we started dropping bombs? Haven't we dropped HUNDREDS of TONS of humanitarian aid over the last three months? Yes, we have. Right now, hundreds, if not thousands of our troops are busy working over there with the refugees. American citizens have sent MILLIONS of dollars in aid (I myself contributed some) to the refugee situation in Afghanistan. I have read reports that it is not nearly as bleak as you paint it and is that way BECAUSE of the efforts of AMERICANS!
