if it is that simple, why do americans continue to live in distressed neighbourhoods with gangs and bullets...do they deserve to get shot by a criminal or killed in a government air strike because their neighbourhood sucks?
if the us gov't treated its own citizens the way it treats iraqis, the whole country would have to fight em or move...that's not so simple
Hospital in Baghdad militia bastion damaged in US air strike
5 hours ago
BAGHDAD (AFP) — A hospital in the Iraqi capital's Sadr City, a Shiite militia stronghold, was damaged in a US air strike on Saturday, wounding around 20 people, medics and witnesses said.
A medic at the Al-Sadr hospital which was hit said women and children were among the 20 wounded in the strike, which a security official said took place at around 10:00 am (0700 GMT).
The US military confirmed the air strike but said it targeted "known criminal elements".
"I can confirm that we conducted a strike in Sadr City this morning. The targets were known criminal elements. Battle damage assessment is currently ongoing," a military spokesman told AFP.
Witnesses said the target of the strike, in which US forces dropped several missiles, was a small house adjacent to Al-Sadr hospital and used as a rest area by Shiite pilgrims.
The impact of the strike damaged more than a dozen ambulances belonging to the hospital, one of the three main medical facilities in the district, and also shattered windows of the building, an AFP reporter at the scene said.
