Afghans demonstrate after children die in troop raid

Hundreds of Afghans took to the streets Monday in protest at what they said was the murder of four civilians, including two baby boys, in an early morning raid by international troops.

The demonstrators showed journalists the bloodied bodies of the children shot dead with their father on the eastern outskirts of the capital, an AFP reporter said.

“They attacked the house and killed two children, almost two years-old, a woman and a man,” Mohammad Naweed from Hoodkhail village said.

Naweed said “foreign forces” also took three men from the house after blasting open the main gate and opening fire.

It was not clear if the woman killed was the children’s mother.

Local television stations showed pictures of women wailing as they were standing by the bodies demanding President Hamid Karzai stand down.

   I think one way to get foreign forces out of Afghanistan would be to burn all the poppy fields. Maybe then US and Europe would lose interest? That would mean less money in Afghanistan, but the two are binded together. Later when war is gone, maybe they can control the crop when it returns for legal drugs that are beneficial to society, like morphine for hospitals. Ah, I am dreaming! It is just sad for me to see people suffer.
