Put yourself in the shoes of an Iraqi mother. She sends her children off to school hoping and praying that they return in the afternoon. Does she fear the insurgents who might send a suicide bomber into their school? Perhaps. Does she fear that a US helicopter might open fire on the school. Maybe not before today, but after this incident she might have a change of mind.
Maybe the US is justified in opening fire on insurgents that seek refuge in the Iraqi schools. But, I'm guessing that American parents might object to Police raids on US schools, even to break up gangs and drug dealers (the scum of the Earth). America is not going to win the Public Relations war if they keep doing this! And, we should have learned by now that Guerilla wars are won by PR and not by gun fire.
US attack 'kills Iraqi children'
