It's sickening and shocking. I remember hearing about this story at the time it occured and people kept trying to claim that maybe it had just been made up in an effort to make Americans look bad, but let's face it, these horrid events are happening and they are the fault of those who commit them.

I really believe it's a case of the men who did the shooting going crazy from the war. They start to think everything is a threat and cause a loss of innocent lives in the process.

If it's not a case of plain military stupidity it is a sign that people should try harder to listen and understand each other before pumping lead into a pregnant woman and a yet un-born child. Or those military are getting paranoid or blinded by simply too many cases of car-explosions that they don't even bother and start shooting anyway. Anyway, I found this piece on ICH, not on CNN. And I trust ICH just a little bit more, though nothing on the press-media is trust-worthy anymore lately.
