US airstrike hits Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan: At least nine medical staff killed and thirty more people missing
Events like this, when U.S. bombings kill civilians, are part of what motivate people in Afghanistan, along with other countries the U.S. is bombing, to hate the U.S. or join groups (Ex: Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc...) to fight back against the U.S.

It is the unintended consequence of these bombings.

Why did the German and Japanese citizens act so honorably in defeat and these mutts constantly stir up trouble after the fighting is done? How many millions of civilians did we kill as a result of warfare back then?

Maybe that's the answer, we aren't killing enough to cure them of whatever their problem is. Or we should just not be involved which I think is the right answer.

In other parts of the the world, I'm sure that quite different words would be used to describe these bombings.

World War 2 was the most destructive war in history, hopefully it will stay that way. Main reason in my opinion that the Germans and Japanese acted honorably in defeat is that after about 4 years of war, along with the destruction of their nations, they had no more appetite to fight.

Agree, the U.S. should not be involved.

Agree, the last sentence of my post refers to the viewpoint from those carrying out the missions. To many on the ground in the areas the U.S. is bombing (Too many to count or list) it is feeding resentment against the U.S. that will result in more people in these regions picking up arms to fight the U.S.

According to SKY News, the USA & NATO is being widely condemned for these bombings. Especially after Obama just made issue of Russians killing civilians in Syria.

Don't worry, Obama is searching as fast as possible for someone else to blame. He just can't make a viable connection to Bush for this incident so it is taking him some time.

And yet, it is the conservatives in this thread who are defending Obama in this.

I don't know who it could possibly be this time.
