Just another Sunday in Balandi, Afghanistan as an Americans soldier swept through the village, and opened fire on mostly women and children as they slept, killing 16.
It is small wonder that the world reacts in shock and horror. After all, it is the Americans who claim to wear the white hat, taking on evil around the globe. Truth is, we long ago lost the luster of being the "good guys" in the fight.
Last month we burned Qurans, today, we slaughter women and children in their beds. Tell me, why is it ok to go to third world nations and kill those citizens? Or, as some friends like to say... "Who died and made us God?"
When will we stop the madness, and prosecute the individuals responsible for these heinous crimes? And when are we going to acknowledge we made a HUGE mistake, and walk away from the mess we created over a decade ago?
We could take a fraction of the money we've sunk into Afghanistan, and put it into our infrastructure, creating jobs, fixing bridges, giving people an honest pay for an honest day's work... what a concept!
