I'm not shocked. Saddened, yes, shocked, no. In times of violence, things burn and people die. That's the point and it's to be expected. To think that you can wage "war" and not kill people, many of them innocent is delusional. For all our bragging about pinpoint accuracy, I have no doubt there are more dead civvies than insurgents.

I have sympathy for all the innocent people who have died there, and for the insurgents fighting to free their country.
