A mistake, AS USUAL
I was supposed to write an introduction here before posting anything.. But, this post is more important.
I'm getting used to it.. A mistake, the soldiers are very well trained and they can't possibly shoot randomly. Well, may be it's not random!
This happens (believe it or not) almost everyday.. My brother-in-law's father, my classmate's aunt, my classmate's uncle, my classmate's brother, my teacher's son-in-law and many many others.. Surely can't be all counted. But, according to the US, it was just a mistake, and we're sorry. The family of those who are killed will never forget who killed their relative, they'll never understand why, and they'll suffer to get the death's certificate. The soldier who shot will have nightmares, but he was well-trained, and that's what matters!
"Freed hostage Giuliana Sgrena is back in Italy, hours after US troops in Iraq fired on the car she was in wounding her and killing an Italian intelligence officer."
I hope this time, someone will be punished, not that I accuse him of doing it deliberately, but unless some one is not punished, all the others will think it's Okay. Just like .. I'll never understand why the US is allowed to have weapons and the others aren't. Well, this might be because no one tells the others what they're allowed to do and what they're not allowed to do but democratic US..
It is interesting how she wasn't treated badly by her terrorist kidnappers but was shot nevertheless, by the irresponsible soldiers!

I believe it.
It makes me sad.

With respect to your comment about "only the US" having WMD... actually, many countries are allowed to have WMD.
Iraq was not allowed to have WMD because Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991. About 50 other countries (including the US) pushed the Iraqi army back out of Kuwait, and Saddam surrendered. One of the conditions of his surrender is that he would not be allowed to build more WMD, and that he'd have to prove he'd destroyed all of the WMD he already had.
I don't think there are any other countries that are "not allowed" to have WMD, though there are a few that we'd like to keep from getting them (especially Iran.)
Nobody in this part of the world minds the fact that England has WMD, because we know England isn't going to try to conquer other countries. But most of us really didn't like Iraq having them, because Saddam had already tried to invade Kuwait. And most of us don't like the possibility of Iran getting them, because they'd most likely use them on Israel or Iraq or some of the other neighbors they don't particularly like.
