American Air Strike


American’s and war do not go hand in hand. They have a reputation of killing their own forces, allies and innocent civilians and it has happened again. Today they ordered an air strike on a village in Afghanistan but hit the wrong village killing 120 innocent citizens.
In 2008, 552 innocent citizens were killed in air strikes; including people attend weddings which American believed were gathering of militants. What angers me the most about this, it is never their fault. They always blame it on the Taliban for using civilians as ‘human shields’ and even worst, did you know there is an international law that forbids armies from bombing villages? The Americans have yet again got themselves into a war that isn’t going to end victorious for either side purely because of the amount of lives lost. This not the first time for this to happen and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
