Incursion

America killed 7 Syrian civilians Sunday.

I guess everyone has heard about the recent US incursion into Syria.

The whole thing makes me very sad, especially when I think about the children who were killed in the name of the "war on terror."

To me, that's just as sad as Muslims who blow themselves up in the name of religion. Why should regular people pay the price for someone else's ideology? -- be they American neocons or Muslim fundamentalists.

All I've been hearing are statements from politicians condemning the attack and the US saying this is a "warning to Syria."

I'm more interested in what the ordinary people living on the Iraqi border think. They're the ones who really matter in this tragic story. I'll try to go there and talk to them as soon as I get the chance.

I agree that the military must do whatever they can to prevent civilians, no matter the age, from becoming casualties.

But I guess then that Osama bin Laden just needs to hide out in an elementary school.
