Hearts, Minds and Dead Children
Monday, March 7th, 2011From a March 2 report on CNN about the U.S. killing nine Afghan boys:
MICHAEL HOLMES: I mean, just another terrible thing. We've seen this happen before.
DON LEMON: Yes. Sad all the way around. He did apologize, but still.
HOLMES: It does a lot of damage to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan. You don't win hearts and minds that way.
LEMON: Absolutely. Thank you, Michael.
I can think of bigger problem here than the "damage to the U.S. mission."
