Blurb from Boston.com:
KABUL, Afghanistan –Violent anti-foreigner protests raged across the capital Monday after a U.S. military truck crashed into traffic, touching off the worst rioting since the Taliban’s ouster. At least eight people died and 107 were injured before Kabul’s streets calmed.
Let’s take a look at this. In a nutshell, these guys are protesting. As a result of what? A U.S. military truck crashing into traffic. Accidentally.
“We don’t want Americans in our country. They don’t care about poor people. They killed innocent people today and this is not the first time,” said Abdul Shakoor, a 28-year-old who joined in the protests after Monday’s traffic accident. “They do it all the time and in the end they say it was a mistake. It’s not acceptable to us anymore.”
Now, I can understand these guys getting mad because a foreign truck crashed into their traffic and killed their people. But when rioters come up and twist it to make it sound like it was intentionally done, it just makes me tick. I seriously doubt that the U.S. military would drive a truck into traffic and blow it up. They do not sacrifice their lives in this way, because they have more dignity for it. The military apologized for the accident, citing it as “tragic”. I guess you could say sorry isn’t enough, but to twist the story in this way just makes it terrible.
