A Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital was bombed by the US. Result, 12 dead staff members and 10 dead patients. The coordinates of the hospital had been communicated to the US forces before to avoid mistakes. The US admits the attack was a decision. MSF is now seeking an independent inquiry.

Let's remember that those beehive-abusing idiots are largely responsible for whatever goodwill we have with the rest of the world and those "shitholes". The fact they keep risking their lives and dying might actually be meaningful to *some* of the savages.
Otherwise, you're saying everything they did was in vain. I don't feel that way at all.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

Medecins Sans Frontieres generates goodwill, but not for America because they are a French organization. The US equivalent would be something like the Peace Corps, but I don't hear too much press these days about how the world loves us for the work those people do.
