Cockamamie Logic

There was yet another incident of Afghan children being killed by coalition forces. Granted, in guerrilla warfare there are no rules and sometimes the bad guys use good people as shields. This is not a new concept, but we can't seem to adjust our tactics to avoid it. For some reason, if it an innocent person is killed by the coalition, it's just the cost of doing business. What? To make us feel better about children being killed, White House spokesman Tony Snow: "the terrorists are certainly willing to go in and take innocent human lives." Oh, well, if the bad guys do it, it's certainly okay if we do it too. Huh?
