Nine civilians, including four children, were killed in Afghanistan when US planes dropped two 2,000lb bombs on their mud home. Their deaths came after at least eight civilians were killed by US Marines a day earlier.
It has been a disastrous two days for the Americans in Afghanistan. First US Marines trying to get to safety after being ambushed by a suicide bomber sprayed gunfire wildly across one of the busiest roads in the country, killing passers-by.
And now US planes have dropped two bombs on a family home, killing children aged between six months and five years.
And what about the disastrous time the Afghans have had what with their children, friends, neighbours, family members and colleagues being bombed, shot at and killed?
What's worse is that the US military is already claiming innocence for these so-called mistakes so none of the survivors will find any justice. These deaths will just be counted as collateral damage and the war will move right along.
It would be easier to subjugate the entire universe through force than the minds of a single village.
