Meanwhile...8 children and 3 women die in NATO Afghanistan strike

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Eight children and three women died in eastern Afghanistan when NATO-led forces bombarded houses, a provincial official told CNN Thursday.
The incident took place Wednesday in Khost province's Domandera district, according to Khost upper house member and foreign relations chief Arifullah Pashton.
There was no immediate reaction from NATO's International Security Assistance Force about civilian casualties in Khost. But ISAF said it was investigating allegations of civilian casualties in an airstrike targeting an insurgent in Ghazni province, in the southeast.
Pashton said hundreds of people in the district demonstrated against the alliance Thursday and chanted, "Death to the United States" and "Death to NATO."

6. No. He just doesn't care all that much
He has more important things on his plate, and besides, it is for their own good. :sarcasm:

5. But remember....
... those people don't think about the value of life the way we do.

They're dark people, anyway.

Muslims, too.

They don't value their children the way we do.

Accidents will happen.

If you're going to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs.

Collateral Damage... regrettable, but...

It's not my problem.

Hey.... didja read about the Casey Anthony verdict?

Do I really need to add :sarcasm: ...?
