    Default Pray for our soldiers

    Pray for the safety of our soldiers in Afghanistan tonight-

    If you haven't heard the news, one of our soldiers shot a whole bunch of people in the middle of the night last night.


    BALANDI, Afghanistan (AP) — An American soldier opened fire on villagers near his base in southern Afghanistan Sunday and killed 16 civilians, according to President Hamid Karzai who called it an "assassination" and furiously demanded an explanation from Washington. Nine children and three women were among the dead.

    The killing spree deepened a crisis between U.S. forces and their Afghan hosts over Americans burning Muslim holy books on a base in Afghanistan last month. The burnings sparked weeks of violent protests and attacks that left some 30 dead. Six U.S. service members have been killed by their Afghan colleagues since the Quran burnings came to light, but the violence had just started to calm down.

    "This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven," Karzai said in a statement. He said he has repeatedly demanded the U.S. stop killing Afghan civilians.
    All of our soldiers are now in need of prayer.

    "This is an anti-human and anti-Islamic act," said Khan. "Nobody is allowed in any religion in the world to kill children and women."
    Interesting...

    Also, I will wait until the facts come out before passing judgement, although the press has already passed judgement. If a US Soldier is responsible, death or life in Leavenworth is definitely in order for him/her.

    I don't remember President Karzai apologizing for any murders done by Afghans...

    My prayers are always with our Military, deployed or not.
