NATO regrets deaths but says Taliban “behead, burn”
I cringed with disgust and horror at above statement for the man who is supposedly overseeing peacemaking and peacekeeping activities of NATO at war-plagued and conflict-inflicted regions.
“Our opponent mixes and mingles with innocent civilians. They are in a different moral category,” De Hoop Scheffer said. “We do not intentionally kill; they behead people, they burn schools, they kill women and children. Let us not forget.” >>> Mr De Hoop, killing, plundering and raping for whatever reasons – intentionally or unintentionally – are hideous crimes. Do not justify the ‘accidental’ murders of Afghan civilians as mere accident and unfortunate events. These people’s life are torn apart and destroyed – do you think such explanation will easily douse the fiery hatred and injustice they face?
“Let’s investigate first and draw up conclusions later.” >> This smells like American famous “Shoot First, Talk Later” modus operandi and it stinks to high heaven.
Will we one day realised that all these war and hatred will do no man any good? I think we do, but unfortunately the power that be is too blinded to notice – or just simply dont care.
