To make matters worse , Muslim tradition is to bury the dead almost immediately which would make investigation difficult on who was killed
Quote:
"Following the fighting, Afghan officials also confirmed the Taliban fighters loaded two trucks with bodies and forced elders to parade them through villages to incite outrage among villagers," he said.
The question still remains who killed those civilians and I bet it was the Taliban to anger the village or were they Militants that were killed and told the village they were civilians ?

OP cites an alleged atrocity committed by the US Air Force followed by a demand that "the culprits" be arrested and brought to triall
That's right... the police chief Abdul Ghafar Watandar said that "the air strikes killed about 120 civilians" which Hillary said she deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply regretted... I'm not sure - there might be a few too many deeplies in there. Let's just say that the US Air Force is implicated in an incident over which the ICC has jurisdiction. Of course that should be invoked if what happened in the past is repeated - that Karai's puppet government delays, prevaricates and does nothing about it.

Ah, no I think you might be overlooking his extract that: "A joint U.S.-Afghan investigation has found that civilians were killed several days ago in airstrikes against Taliban forces."
When all reports and circumstances are taken into account there are ample grounds for the pilots and ground forces involved to be arrested and put on trial.

Its like the Nazis can come back and murder German citizens at will , its all okay but once the West gets involved and saves present day Germany from murderers , the US should be tried as criminals

Again you show your bias - what about the Taliban who used the civilians as human shields and may as some suspect murder the civilians to up the counts .
Yet you make no mention about arresting the Taliban - Your to shallow , sorry hate to say it

That's right... if one side is to blame everyone's concerns should be one-sided.
Frankly, you and six are coming across as willing to forgive the most appalling criminality just because those responsible happen to be of your own nationality.

You need to distinguish between factual information and propaganda. An impartial court like the ICC can only proceed on the former because that which is alleged has to be proved.
