I find it interesting that we look for deeper meanings and reasons for this act when it is committed by "our side".

I can't recall ever reading an article about why a certain person was attacking "our side" though. I don't think I have ever read an article about a rebel killing US soldiers because of an act of what the NATO forces have done to provoke it. Can you imagine an article in Time magazine about a rebel that killed a US soldier cause 2 days earlier they dropped a bomb on his house and killed his family.

I was all for going in there and getting AQ and getting out, but I was never for building a nation, for people who can't count, for a generation.
