@Budwick @MistyCee Yeah thanks. I have to do a 10th step on this one. Initially I was completely focused on the blunder and not the tragedy. A very bad sin on my part. It doesn't matter who did what, in light of 7 kids and three adults being deprived of their lives. I've been told that we regularly make drone strikes that kill non combatants with[i] no targeted infrastructure or personal whatsoever[/i]. If this is true, it's no wonder so many people hate us so much. I know there has been what is flippantly called "collateral damage", but I was not aware that we "regularly" hit bogus targets altogether. I'm not ready to accept that this is a regular thing, but if it is true, then it is horrible.
I acknowledge my lapse in moral integrity in my first thoughts on hearing about this strike. It wasn't sorrow or even anger. It was a smug satisfaction that my suspicions had been verified, and that is pretty bad.
