it's ok to kill children as long as they are alive and conscious...

What does that do to THEIR FAMILIES. Forget the ridiculous idea of a world image. Think about the millions of children that were maimed and killed in these senseless bombings. The idea that its all about "the war on terror" is just absurd.

what does the Russian invasion of the peaceful,sovereign nation of Georgia do to THEIR WORLD IMAGE?

it is a sad thing when ANY child is killed BUT these cowardly Islamic radicals will hide behind them and when they are killed along with the children,our brave military men and women are vilified.

so, if it means that liberal countries don't understand this fact of war,,then they can just keep their opinions to their cowardly selves.

It means that criminals and war criminals such as Bush, Cheney and their cronies must be tried by the International Tribunal on War Crimes and if convicted they must be sentenced to death and executed.

I realize you were probably taught differently in your childhood, but "image" is virtually meaningless in comparison to the many real-world issues facing our and other nations....

...because you have the luxury to dwell on it and, apparently, vote on it does not mean that it is of any importance...

Funny i read it as US led Coalition forces meaning it was a approved battle plan by the Coalition which would include the local government. I really wish America would leave all the countries were in and then we can watch all the slaughter of innocent people and military take over of countries and Russia and China make there moves.Then all these people blaming America for all the worlds woes would be begging for our assistance. Just think all the Muslim nations could have more Hussein's running there countries again and the Afghans could have there beloved Taliban once again...

Unfortunately, world opinion seems to be that it's okay to use human shields, as long as you're opposed to the U.S.

It's even worse when these people don't even let it be known that there are innocents there. They figure that even if they get attacked, the deaths of the civilians they're hiding will make it a victory in the liberal media. And often, they're right.

It hurts our image a lot.

Didn't you know?  Afghan children aren't people.  Unborn balls of cells are.

Our image has been in the sh*tcan for a while now. Just more of the same.

It must be the way the determined would prevent abortions. If you just kill them before they are old enough to procreate, you don't have to worry about them getting an abortion.

Our image is non existent- we owe China 50 trillion and no one likes us.

The reign of repubs and reckless spending needs to stop now

Everyone already dislikes us, except Israel, and they hate Muslims anyways so they will be about the same.

Within our country it will probably do nothing. The people who already disapprove of war will be appalled and those who approve of it will say it's a necessary

katherine n - How on earth can you make the assertion that Georgia is a peaceful nation? South Ossetia is a region distinct from Georgia with it's own language and it's own culture, it is nothing to do with Georgia, Gerogia violently invaded them and waged genocide on them to prevent them spliting from Georgia, and this is coming from a country that got independence from the Soviet Union - what hypocrites! There is no way that you can assert Georgia is a peaceful nation. Are Russia just supossed to stand by and let an ethnic group have genicidal practices waged against them? Get the facts straight before you start spouting bullshit.

It really angers me when I see stories like this and lately I've been seeing quite a few in Afghanistan. The world image of the US is already distorted, we already know how deep the hypocrisy is. However it seems the blood of an Afghan child does not even compare to the blood of a US soldier.

Well, first, read the whole thing.

The U.S. military has launched an investigation into the incident, after first saying it was unaware of any civilian casualties in what it said was an air strike on a known Taliban commander that killed 30 militants.

Additionally, it was a U.S. led coalition attack, not a U.S. Attack...

It's called propaganda
