    I'm so proud to be an American today :-(

      For some context the school shared walls with and used to be part of an active military base. [1]

      That being said bombing children is always a tragedy and the US should be doing everything it can to learn from this and not make these kinds of mistakes.

        Are these the same lessons they should have learned from bombing Afghan weddings or Iraqi funerals?

            &gt; Were you complaining when Obama killed US citizens and kids with drone strikes?

            Your attempt to try to spin the morality of bombing innocent civilians as a mere domestic partisan issue is disconcerting. I mean, this site has a diverse international readership, and a UN report on potential war crimes is hardly a domestic issue.
