[lbo-talk] RE: US regrets

[joanna bujes]

"KABUL (Reuters) - Aircraft from the U.S.-led military force killed 
nine children in an attack in the south of Afghanistan (news - web 
sites) on a "known terrorist" responsible for the deaths of two road 
contractors, the military said on Sunday.

....

He said the U.S.-led force regretted the loss of innocent life and 
the incident was under investigation."

I wonder what happens to a "civilization" that no longer has a sense of tragedy? "Oedipus regrets the murder of a man alleged to be his father."
