60 Afghan children confirmed dead after US bombings

A United Nations investigation says it has found convincing evidence that 90 civilians were killed in US-led air strikes in western Afghanistan on Friday.

While the US-led coalition has acknowledged that five civilians, two women and three children, were killed in the air strikes in Herat, a human rights team with the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan says it has found convincing evidence that 90 civilians were killed in the attack, including 60 children.

An Afghan investigation has already found that the strikes killed 90 civilians.

According to the mission, up to eight houses were destroyed, there were eyewitness accounts of the attack, and local residents could confirm the number of casualties by names, ages and gender.

The investigation into the incident is continuing.

The Afghan Government has called for a complete revamp of the rules of engagement for foreign forces in the wake of the deaths.

Taliban will make sure many more children will Die

Taliban and Al Qaeda have good PR and make sure they make AMerica look like bad.. We can let Afghanstan turn into another Sudan.. then you will find someone to cry “How can we let this happen?" .. Suddan is a mess and who will save the millions of people there that are being left to die?

Afghan people deserve peace and love

Lots of people here seem to want to get on their high horse and complain about everyone and keep the dreaam of fighting forever.. Is that what you want?, to find another person to blame and fight? There are enough people wanting war, where are the visionaries for peace and a better future?

Any time 3 afghanis get together for weddings parties even pehaps a bah mitzvah this shows the are “taliban” or “militant” muslims conspiraters resisting america and its right to deliver american civilisation to Afghanis sudan and any othe country in the world.
everybody loves american 'fredom"and amercas military .The sudanese too are probably begging for US liberation and have flowers at the ready for the US troops.

Rather Pointed how Wrong the UN was to get behind a Lie!

When the UN got behind the lil bush lie and 'sanctioned' the killing of Afghanis 'without proof', it set upon itself all the same smells! All the same lies! All the same injustices! All the same loss of RULE OF LAW!

And the same Problem! How to stop?

What's the point on killing innocent civilians in afghanistan...

So... manyyyyyyyy lives have been lost in Afghanistan as a result of U.S bombings... Who says innocents should be killed in the name of catching the terrorists... will killing the people eradicate terrorism.... I don’t think so.... What should we do then????
I oppose nationalism.. why can’t people follow internationalism.. why to have such a localised thinking of nationalism( somewhat it comes under a broad definition of regionalism).......
If we could only develop a feeling of internationalism instead of nationalism... humanity & moral value will follow.
Just seeing the life through rose coloured glasses... But plz do think about it... and follow...

I oppose nationalism!
NICE NEW WORLD ORDER THINKING !
Common 'internationalist” type thinking of bush the trotskyists and neo-cons .The word international has two parts inter -and -national allowing for mutual cooperation and national independance.The afghans need to be free and independant to determine their own future includung their own religion.Not have thei future determined for them by kind NWO “internationalists “of NATO and The US.
