Rick, I did indeed mean "human". As in "to err is human". The point being that although our mortar shells are deliberate, they may create some unwanted results while doing the job intended. The end does not always justify the means, but in this case timing was critical when the exhaustive political efforts between 9-11 and early October proved futile. To delay could have meant more innocent AMERICAN lives. That is a risk I am glad we did not take. If we keep the bastards running and digging graves, then they can't very well plan phase II of their Jihad. To cry about foreign casualties when the stench of jet fuel, soot, and death still linger in our own backyard is not only "Un-American", its disrespectful.
