Stop the air attacks!

I’m with Karzai on condemning the recent NATO attack on a convoy that included women and children.  I seriously doubt we’re going to win this war anyway, but I’m positive we won’t win it by dropping bombs on civilians.

It didn’t work for the Soviets and it won’t work for us.  If we must pursue this war because of our Leader’s peculiar obsessions, then let’s do with with more (multinational) boots on the ground.  At least a sniper would be more likely to see the lil’ kid waving from the back of the mini-van.

*Update 2/25/10* It’s not just air attacks that are killing civilians.  Check out these statistics on the kids killed by both sides in the Afghanistan conflict.
