It should be a front page diary or on the recommended list.
I wish this person had been advising Durban.
On November 29th, 2001, village elders from the village of Kama Ado, Afghanistan, came down the mountains to Jalalabad to meet with the Governor of Nangarhar. American night time attacks around their village had depleted their water supply and killed their livestock. They came to plead with the governor to try to stop the attacks. Two days later, as part of the intense "shotgun-style" hunt for Osama bin Laden around the area of Tora Bora, two B-52 bombers made two passes over Kama Ado, dropping twenty-five one thousand pound bombs. Kama Ado is a ten hour hike from Tora Bora. One woman who was wounded in the attack said that she lost thirty-eight of her forty relatives. Others reported that the following day, only forty of the village's 250-300 residents remained alive. When journalists visited Kama Ado the following day, they reported huge bomb craters and debris of houses spread over two hillsides, along with children's shoes, dead cows and sheep, and the tail fin of a MK-83 bomb. The people in that village never even saw photographs of the twin towers, much less hijacked planes and knocked them down. But they paid the full price for their destruction.
If I read this to you, and did not tell you it was done by Americans, you would surely believe it was done by Soviets, during their attacks on Afghanistan, or by some other mad regime, who had no concern for human beings.
