In this case our government thinks it's "their" place to decide justice in a foreign land. <br /><br />The Mi Lai Massacre was the Vietnam War mass murder of between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians in South Vietnam on March 16, 1968, by United States Army soldiers of "Charlie" Company of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade of the Americal Division. Most of the victims were women, children (including babies), and elderly people. Some of the bodies were later found to be mutilated. While 26 US soldiers were initially charged with criminal offenses for their actions at Mi Lai, only Second Lieutenant William Calley, a platoon leader in Charlie Company, was convicted. Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but only served three and a half years under house arrest.<br /><br />Where was the justice?Tim Chaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002776263780121028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864700212418096668.post-79404806186092216792012-03-15T11:23:50.488+00:002012-03-15T11:23:50.488+00:00It looks like the us soldier has lost the plot &am...It looks like the us soldier has lost the plot & hit the point of total craziness...whatever his reasons to go on this killing spree they were innocent civillians & mainly children so it was a loss of innocent lives...what was he trying to prove by this...maybe we will get some answers from him....Flower Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428518578477355862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864700212418096668.post-3348359531997630612012-03-15T10:27:39.398+00:002012-03-15T10:27:39.398+00:00I think, when you have time, you could do a piece ...I think, when you have time, you could do a piece in a-raw-deal, perhaps debunking some of the myths that pertain to women and Islam. Most of the images we see are a kind of western propaganda against Islam, when it is inherently untrue. Yes there are organisations such as the Taliban, al Qaida etc that clearly aim to falsely subjugate women to a curious male stereotyping exercise. It horrifies me that we as Muslims allow these people to go unchallenged, yet at the same time it encourages me that there are women out there in places like Afghanistan, and dare I say Pakistan, who, at great risk to their safety, continue to campaign for women's rights as enshrined in the Noble Quran...

I agree the troops should be brought home. If there is American military on the scene they would be more effective if they were "invisible" (i.e. speical forces and advisers rather than combat troops)...having occupying troops on the ground just aggravates the Afghan people. It seems like the United Sates could still help the Afghanistan government in other ways that make more strategic sense than having so many troops there. The troops are clearly under too much strain...so if you can't put them in a situation where they can succeed, just bring them home.Jimmy Fungushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953474867719568319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864700212418096668.post-18340797816116940372012-03-15T00:31:23.042+00:002012-03-15T00:31:23.042+00:00I hadn't heard this story actually.

It's not a good thing to happen at all, and while they should bring everyone home, I don't see it happening any time soon. If the guy had done three tours though, and they had never caught that he had the capacity to do this, something has gone wrong somewhere.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118816573712396453noreply@blogger.com
