U.S.: STOP DROPPING BOMBS ON CIVILIANS

The BBC reports today that a U.S. coalition air-raid killed seven children in eastern Afghanistan.

"Seven children were killed in a US-led coalition air strike against a suspected al-Qaeda hideout in eastern Afghanistan, the coalition has said.

"A statement said that a number of militants were also killed in the raid in Paktika province, near Pakistan.

"The children are believed to have been students at a madrassa, or Islamic school, at the targeted compound."

There is an important lesson from this report. STOP THE BOMBING. Dropping bombs on targets is inherently reckless and dangerous to civilians. It is impossible to drop a bomb and kill only soldiers. We all know this. Why then does the United States continue to manufacture bombs and drop them from airplanes?
