It somehow seems safe to assume that the American soldier who calmly left his base, killed 16 Afghani people, then calmly returned to his base is mentally ill. He might not be, but it still seems safe to assume that he is. Which, of course, is certainly no excuse for anything, but it may be a reason.
And so now the Taliban swears revenge against...what?.. Who?
The entire United States? Why of course. And doubtless the overall attitude towards the United States on the part of the Afghani people is now extremely negative, as it apparanely is in the case of Afghanistan President Karzai.
World opinion is not likely to be too great either.
Well then so be it. Maybe its what America deserves, for all the war its made.
America deserves to be judged on it foreign policy, but do the actions of a single idiot merit condemning all 305 million American people? Surely not.
You probably couldn't find more than a handful of Americans, if that many, who find this occurance anything other than utterly vile and reprehensible, and tragic.
The world might do well to remember that. Yes, judge the United States on her behavior, of which there is plenty available. But not on th actions of a single sick person.
