I don't sympathize, but how do you know these details? Did someone videotape this tragedy?

I'm not that poster, but they are broadcasting pictures of the dead and burned victims on Al Jazeera English. Somebody did some bad things to them.

Read the papers. Eyewitness reports + photos of remains.

He didn't accidentally wing some civilians caught in a crossfire.

Sorry, but premeditated atrocity is not the same as collateral damage. If it is, then you have provided the justification for every torture chamber and every genocidal dictator in the world.

Any more possible ways you can side with this guy? Poor thing he's been through so much, war is hell, his wife wrote him a negative letter, they are lying about the nature of the killings, it's all Al Jazeera propaganda blah blah blah.

This was a home invasion where this man brutally executed three houses full of children, then set the place on fire. Does that sound familiar? So the guys who did it in Connecticut are monsters, and you'll make any excuse under the sun for this guy.

Not that poster, but wanted to comment. I don't know if you mean that as a slight against AJE, but here's the thing about them, they always show the footage of gruesome atrocities, unlike American TV. Most of the time I have to switch station.

And no, it's not "just" anti-American stuff. They showed the footage of the guy trying to sodomize Qadaffi before killing him. They show footage and pictures of the brutally tortured and killed kids in Syria. It's just what they do.

And yes, throughout the day, the stories and some pictures were reported on CNN, New York Times, as well as a British, French, and Australian papers that I read yesterday. The British paper seemed to have details the earliest. Our American media, almost without exception, seems to offer very shallow soundbites.

Any other wild excuses for why this is not so bad? Is he secretly a Muslim? Did the Taliban slip him a mind control drug? Was he part of a Black Ops program and the children killed were deep cover agents ready to launch a suicide bombing on a high priority target?

Wars are failure, period.

Because we really want to force people who don't want to go to war leave. You reinstate the draft, and I think you would see a mass revolt.

We never should have gotten involved in the Middle East. MAny of us knew this back in 2002-2003, for Iraq, and furthermore when the War in Afghanistan started. We rallied and tried to fight against the awful wars, but nobody listened. Maybe people will now listen when we say that we should leave Afghanistan. Its not like we are going to be doing anything good for the country at this point, as this event shows.

Our involvement in that region dates back over half a century at least. We overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran in the 50s and set up the Shah as our puppet. We created the Taliban to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan and the result was a country laid to ruins long before 9/11. We sold oodles of weapons to our buddy Saddam to fight Iran once our buddy the Shah was no longer a customer.
