Is the argument that they shouldn't receive monetary compensation at all?
I think it's degrading to put a dollar amount on human life, and it doesn't address the issue that we are killing innocent people.
If you can just write a check and say sorry. Then the problem will continue.
Maybe we should spend a little more time and thought on why we do what we do.
There is just too much warmongering corruption. Since when does a country that is in terminal debt overload, think it can keep taxing and spending it's people into these un wanted wars.
Get us out of wars. Get our own house in order, instead of ruining other people's homes.

I agree but compensating these people for the actions of that p.o.s. doesn't necessarily mean that issue is being swept under the rug. I suppose the best form of compensation would be to get the %#$& out of their country.

Yes, Yes, and YES
But then the Military Industrial Complex would take a financial hit. And wouldn't have anymore money to give to the families of dead people.
Vicious cycle those Warmongering murderers get into.
We made a mistake. We should condemn those who executed this harshly. We all agree, the situation sucks.
So is it the fact that we paid them as a gesture of solidarity that offends you so much, or is it the dollar amount? Would you prefer we just said sorry and paid them nothing?
Because we're in so much debt that we'll literally have to kill our way out of it eventually. Not sure if you're aware of that.
Would you prefer 500K per victim? Just add it to the tally, shall we?

The best decision would be to give them back their Nation. It's none of our business. It is all fabricated to make crap that kills people.
We have no true enemies. We have thousands of nukes that were built, in order to make it so.
The whole war was designed for profit, power, ego, and careers.
The proof is in the results. Bogged down for 10 yrs. Things getting worse not better, innocent men, women, children being murdered. And no end in sight.
If we are so good! Why 10 years to make a country worse?
THe CIA needs money so bad to do it's evil around the world, it co-ops the whole country to make it the largest producer of Heroin the world has ever seen.
Pre war Afghan's made 20-30% of the Opium. NOW it's 99% of the World's Opium supply.
There literally is not enough demand to meet the supply. So you will no doubt see the USA flooded with cheap Heroin, courtesy of the CIA.
War for profit and power makes nothing but criminals and soul less soldiers.

if we just exit afghanisan once and for all!!>> the amount would be 0..

It's a local version of saying "We f.cked up and we're really goddamn sorry about that". It's not a purchased absolution, it's an act of contrition.
