This is part of the sad, dirty face of war, my friend. Mistakes happen and there are consequences. That said, we shouldn't let mistakes or the threat of them weaken our resolve or keep us from doing what must be done.

It is entirely unclear to most people how these helicopter pilots were doing what must be done.

What is the strategy here? Shoot anything that might be suspicious in the dark without any confirmation of wrong doing?

This sounds like precisely what must not be done....

The slaughter of these 9 children comes right after 73 civilians (more than 30 children) were slaughtered over the past week.

NATO apologizes for Afghan civilian deaths - Arab News

The entire operation is ridiculously stupid and cruel and produces no significant long lasting meaningful results.
