I don't understand airstrikes. I really don't. Especially for problems like the Taliban. I mean, the organization is succeeding because not all of them are in one place. Their entire operation is based on being spread out. "Divide and conquer" seems to be working for them.
So why, in common sense's name, would we deign to send bombs from above at an ambiguous area in order to get a couple terrorists?
The New York Times reported that "The Afghan human rights commission reported Wednesday that 28 civilians have been killed so far in NATO's offensive on the Taliban stronghold of Marjah, and urged pro-government forces to take greater care in distinguishing between civilians and militants."
Thank you, human rights commission, for being a voice of reason. International "peace-keepers", please, let's focus on the real problems. The Af-Pak border. The crumbled economy. The drug trade. The actual terrorists.
