Hopefully this gets widespread attention, as it's a perfect example of the sheer madness of the "war on terror". The US has just bombed a hospital in Afghanistan run by the charity Doctors Without Borders, killing at least 19 people, 3 of which were children. The location of the hospital was widely spread, so the US military should have known it's location. The charity also tried to contact the military during the bombing, but that appears to have been ignored because the US continued to bomb the hospital.
If you really want to end terror, you don't declare "war" on it. You can't fight terror with tanks, bombs and soldiers, those are tools for spreading terror, not preventing it. Compassion, empathy, and understanding are the "weapons" through which terror is defeated. Instead we have a system that defeats one enemy while creating five more, and all the while innocent people have to suffer for it.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." -Dwight D. Eisenhower
