Yes, since humanity is a great success in a fragmented form. Not.
Then again, there are those that believe the end of the world will come when
man stops fighting with each other, so I suppose even culture and tradition
are against me on this one.
Fair enough, I don't quite care about the damage some are inflicting to
themselves. Which brings us back to the "99%" discussion; some seem they're
doing some form of good by making us redact a few steps in the course of
progress.

Non existant WMD? Human rights? The US has to stop seeing themselves as
international police.

Again. They looked like they had weapons. The pilots weren't
wondering...they were sure they saw weapons.
They then engaged what appeared to be a clear threat to other US
forces nearby.
The pilots acted exactly as they should have, given the information
presented to them. This was a war zone, not a country club.

Not only where they not obviously unarmed, they appeared to be armed.
Look at the 4 minute mark.
That sure as shit looks like an RPG.
The crew thought the group was armed. Ergo, they were cleared to
engage.
This wasn't a war crime...and the allegation that it was just makes
people look ridiculous.
Listen to yourself: we weren't sure if they were armed, so we killed
them. Put yourself and your family in the shoes of the dead folks. Its
not a comfortable place to be, is it?

Seriously! Think about the injustice of having American helicopters
engage armed individuals shadowing American soldiers.
Shooting at "armed individuals" is one thing. If it's "civilians and
Reuters
employees" who *aren't* obviously armed, it's something else.
