I wonder how their family, friends, and neighbors feel about being "liberated".

BAQUBA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. forces killed eight people and destroyed a home with air strikes during a gunbattle before dawn on Wednesday in a restive city north of Baghdad, the military and neighbors said.

The military called the deaths "unfortunate" and said it was unsure how many of those killed were militants. Neighbors and relatives in the town, Baquba, said those killed included seven members of a family and one neighbor.

Relatives said the strike came as they were preparing for the traditional pre-dawn Ramadan meal. "I was inside preparing for Ramadan morning meal. I heard explosions and shooting and I ran out," Anaam Jassim, a young, weeping woman told Reuters television as neighbors held her arms.

"When I came back I saw all my family killed. My father -- four women and three men. All of them, including my brother and his pregnant wife. They took two of our family away, a man and a woman. They were wounded," she said.

3. Yeah. It's not like they were real people with lives and names.

2. "unfortunate"

So the deaths on September 11, 2001 were "unfortunate" then?

After all, we've killed tens of thousands of Iraqis, at the least. Far more than died on 911. And Iraq not only had nothing whatsoever to do with 911, they hadn't been doing anything whatsoever to anyone.

So if their deaths are "unfortunate", that must make American deaths "unfortunate" as well.

Gee how "unfortunate" shrug shrug.

And still so many Americans wonder why were so despised by the world. Amazing.
