Note the clever bias...

U.S. pilots attacked the Amiriyah air raid shelter in a residential suburb of Baghdad on Feb. 12, 1991, in the mistaken belief that it was a military command center, not a refuge for civilians. More than 400 people died, including 261 women and 52 children, according to Iraqi official figures.

The facility was a command center - the civilians were intentionally placed ont he upper three levels of the six-level facility. The bombing attack destroyed all levels, and radio intercepts showed a sudden dropoff in Iraqi military communications coinciding with the strike. But none of that matters, of course...

It WAS a command center, but the Reuters F**ks are too STUPID to know that or too LAZY to find out. They are shills for Islamofascism.

It's like the world has forgotten that people die in war. That's what it is. It's a tragic thing, but the tragedy makes people want to avoid the next one.
