Literally.
Above, a fatally wounded child removed from a building demolished by a US airstrike in Baghdad. This week.
Below, the "collateral damage" (read: murder) from a US missile strike on an alleged "terrorist" in Somalia. From the BBC:
"We heard a huge explosion and when we ran out of our house we saw balls of smoke and flames coming out of house," Dusamareb resident Nur Geele told the BBC.
"The house was totally destroyed to the ground, also other houses nearby," local elder Ahmed Mumin Jama said.
Dr Ahmed Mahdi at Dusamareb Hospital told the BBC he was treating eight civilians, including women and children, for burns and shrapnel wounds.
"The house that was attacked was a small concrete villa and it has been destroyed," he said. "The adjacent houses which were made from traditional mud were also destroyed. The sight is quite horrific."
One of the women has since died, bringing the death toll so far to 11.
Yessir, proud to be an American. Due process. Right to a fair trial.
