Our Bad

In one of their few mistakes during the Iraq war, the US military dropped a 500-pound bomb on the wrong house, killing 14 innocent people, half of them children.

But everyone's entitled to a few mistakes. War is like a football game; American football, that is. Occasionally, even a great quarterback will throw an errant ball. What does he do? Does he sob about it? No, he tries again. Likewise, we shouldn't get down about murdering a few civilians. Instead, we should bomb some more houses.

We'll get the bad guys next time.
