![]() ![]() The International Security Assistance Force in Kabul issued a statement acknowledging that the airstrike “accidentally killed three innocent Afghan children.” That statement prompted Army Lt. Col. Marion Carrington to tell the Military Times that the children may not have been innocent. According to Carrington, whose unit is training Afghan police, “In addition to looking for military-age males, [we are] looking for children with potential hostile intent.” Killing children in the name of military necessity is a fairly common tactic in Washington’s war on terror. Indeed, President Obama ordered a drone strike that killed 16-year-old U.S. citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki at a backyard barbecue. The teenager’s capital offense was to be the son of a man who had been killed in another drone strike a few days earlier. Any war that involves targeting children is an affront to the laws of God and man – and any government that does so is unworthy of the support of decent people. |
