Afghans Protest After Report of US Killing of 16 Civilians

Thousands of Afghans protested against the United States on Sunday over reports that a US air raid killed sixteen Afghan civilians on the previous day.

US Drones Kill 20 in Strikes on Pakistan

The US military has carried out its first strikes in Pakistan since President Barack Obama took office. At least twenty were killed on Friday after US Predator drones carried out two separate missile strikes. The Guardian newspaper says Barack Obama gave the go-ahead for the attacks inside Pakistan.

36 more dead people that the teary eyed liberals will never weep over. is it not instructive that "obama gave the go ahead for the attacks inside pakistan?" at least 20 were killed as a result. but what does obama care? it's not as if his wife and children are lying under the rubble. but, of course, someone's wife and children are, and to that person, they mean every bit as much as obama's family means to him. my guess is that this guy won't feel any better knowing that the man who signed off on the murder of his family is considered a black man in america.

so, where is that peace movement i'm always hearing about? does it only come out to play when republicans are in power? and if they tell us that obama "needs time," i ask this; would we give a civilian "time" who just gave the go ahead to have 20 people killed? come on people, put your mugs and t-shirts away, and put your mind to work.

it probably needs the practice.
