An airstrike initiated by the United States has taken out innocent civilians. The United States made an estimate that was far LESS than the amount killed. The Afghan claims the totals reached up to 90 innocents dead. This is creating conflict. Robert Gates is making an effort now to increase our accuracy and prevent any more innocent casualities. Although is it said that this act was in justice of acting while under attack and credible knowledge of the outcomes.
My personal opinion is we are at war with Afghans and their may be innocent lives lost but many American soldiers have been sacrificed in this war. Innocent people died in the terrorist attacks on September 11th. So maybe the Afghan people need to suck it up and take this as a factor of war. yes, the United States can make more of an effort to prevent civilian deaths but we should not need to beg for forgiveness for something that is happening to our own people. They did not ask our forgiveness, so we should show them no mercy.
