It's Just Over-Kill.

Out ... sooner rather than later. Time to go, before the setbacks really begin to set us back:

Petraeus Apologizes for Deaths of 9 Afghan Boys
By ALISSA J. RUBIN and SANGAR RAHIMI
NATO helicopter gunners mistook boys collecting firewood for insurgents, according to a statement that included an unusual personal apology by Gen. David H. Petraeus.

Everybody should cringe at the deaths of innocents. And the apology is nice, but shooting boys from above?* Even unintentionally?

What are we -- slipping to Israeli military standards? Ooopsie-doopsie! Still getting a handle on our amazingly deadly technology...

* Some cringe when we do that to wolves, even when it's a justifiable takedown.

Overkill
Men At Work

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill.
