Doesn't that make headlines in America? Hospital bombing in Kunduz

Yeah, it's a pretty well known war crime to attack a hospital, or other medical facilities, isn't it? Even if it did have enemies inside, you can't just do that.

We like to call it "collateral damage."  Helps us sleep at night.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Shameful, and deserving of a prosecution that will not happen.

Of course it doesn't make the headlines in America. We all know by now, a white person has to die for it to be newsworthy.

'Murica for you.

It's disgusting. I hope whoever did it gets caught. Thoughts go out to the victims.

There you have yet another example of a neutral party trying to help people out and getting attacked.

And then the excuses start appearing.

I'm reminded of the peacekeepers in the Middle East who have been bombed by Israel

[abaris]

Yes, the withdrew with the hospital in shambles and their coworkers dead. Guess, it's mission accomplished.

[The Valkyrie]

This is most definitely a war crime, as far as I'm concerned.

[abaris]

Yes, it is. But war crimes are hardly tried these days. We've come a long way since jusice Jackson. Everyone takes a piss on his grave.

[Tiberius]

I'd wait until further investigation is done before declaring it a war crime. Whilst I admit it's looking more likely, we need to know whether the attacking forces were aware it was a hospital when they authorized the strike.

If they weren't aware, either because they didn't check, or were misinformed, then it's an accident. It shouldn't have happened either way.
