Sad Score

U.S. and NATO forces killed more civilians in Afghanistan this year than did the "bad guys" (203 vs. 178). The count comes from the Associated Press because the US Department of Defense does not report these figures. I hope they actually do keep count, and are simply too embarrassed to release it, because that would mean they take seriously this key aspect of the war. This is no way to win the battle for hearts and minds.
