BAGHDAD - The U.S. military said Monday that it accidentally killed nine Iraqi civilians during an operation targeting al-Qaida in Iraq south of Baghdad.
"When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
[Peter Seeger, Where have all the flowers gone?]
Our leaders tell us repeatedly that Iraq is not a military problem, but a political one.
Still, day after day, we see only a military "solution" applied - catch or kill the bad guys.
Win hearts and minds? Seek reconciliation?
Nah - just give us more bullets, more bombs!
Stop the madness!
