What part of it? Or all of it?
Or that the students were sleeping? Or handcuffed?
Yes, I do, see the difference......
So then why are you arguing that because those accidents transpired, it's logical to assume that this execution occurred?
All of it. It simply doesn't make sense that US troops would conduct a raid, detain a group of children, handcuff them, and execute them. Why on earth would they do that? What would they have to gain?
I am not, I was pointing out that they could have mistaking them for enemies ectt.
Vietnam, hello My Lai Massacre does that ring any bell with you. . They don't need excuses to kill people when they are just gun ho to kill the enemy. Its not that hard to believe. BUt I too will wait for an investigation.
Even if they mistook the kids for enemies, why would they execute them once they were handcuffed?
And again, you don't see any difference between an incident in Vietnam and a raid conducted by US Special Forces?

Since the US and NATO both vehemently deny this and the only source for the claim are some Afghan officials, I think I'll wait before demanding the extradition of US troops to be hung as war criminals.
Lots of things don't make sense, but evidence points to the contrary on this one.
- Dead bodies with handcuffs on them
- All from the same family (terrorist cells very rarely have more than 3-4 members of the same family in them), except for one boy (the 12 year old shepherd).
Also, I suggest reading about NATO's initial responses to these allegations. Apparently they have changed there stance four times since responding to the incident.
Can you give me a link for the changed stances? ^^.
Every person should do the thinking for his own and ask himself if the US would have anything to gain for murdering civilians, and if a whole group of American soldiers could go on together and actually kill innocent people for no gain at all.
The US is quite certain that it was a bomb-making terrorist cell.No one in this thread has made the suggestion that these particular killings were deliberate and on purpose. This may have easily been a case of mistaken identity, or something else that we are unaware of.
I'm sorry, the article that I've read was the OP article:And apparently you have not even read the article completely, or you would never have used the words "American soldiers" when referencing the "non-military Americans" involved in this incident.

Source: United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan31 December 2009 - As the United Nations investigates a joint raid by Afghan and international forces in which 10 people – mostly students – were killed, the world body’s top envoy to Afghanistan today appealed to all groups, both government and insurgent, to step up efforts to distinguish between civilians and combatants.

Ah. This was apparently a joint raid with Afghan forces. I didn't see this aspect mentioned before. It could help explain the inexplicable.
I just don't see well trained NATO forces executing unarmed children.

Do you actually think that I want our soldiers to kill kids? I sure as hell don't want any of that type of thing. :roll:
yes, they would, and have.Soldiers wouldnt risk their careers and jail time to kill innocent kids.
Can you plz provide citations where NATO forces have executed handcuffed children.yes, they would, and have.
I'd say we should be asking ourselves why kill children in cold blood. This is murder in cold blood even when these soldiers had the children handcuffed with no resistance they proceeded to shoot at them.
yes, they would, and have.
