[quote:Anonymous Coward 10401141:MV8xOTkwODQzXzMzNDQ2NzAxXzE3QTM3QjNB] in 2001 2997 people died while doing nothing but going to work and other mundane tasks. In the days after, we saw people dancing and celebrating in the streets across the Middle east. Now tell me again why I should give a rats ass about 8 of these? [/quote]

Afghan officials said a NATO airstrike killed eight women and girls who were out gathering firewood before dawn Sunday in a remote region on the east of the country.
Villagers from Laghman province's Alingar district brought the bodies to the governor's office in the provincial capital, said Sarhadi Zewak, a spokesman for the provincial government.
"They were shouting 'Death to America!' They were condemning the attack," Zewak said.
Seven injured females were brought to area hospitals for treatment, some of them as young as 10 years old, said provincial health director Latif Qayumi.
