I've Been Thinking:

Earlier in the week the US embarked on an air-strike just south of Baghdad.
The target was in a densely populated area in the village of Tal al Samar.

Nine civilians including a child were killed.
Three civilians including two children were wounded.
To top it all off the American air-strike hit friendly soldiers who were actually fighting for US interests.

The Iraqi press has been all over this story.
The US and other foreign press have barely given it any attention.

Here's the rub:
If these were the outcome of an Israeli air strike Israel a UN resolution would have been passed condemning the action.
If this was the outcome of an Israeli air strike human rights groups would be all up in arms.
Something is inconsistent here.
