Note to the Afghan People

While it's a long-standing custom with you folks, it might be a good idea to give up the celebratory firing of weapons into the air, at least when you're in a war zone, and there are US combat aircraft in the area. "BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) - U.S. helicopter gunships and jets attacked a house Monday while a wedding was under way, killing and injuring scores, witnesses and hospital officials said. U.S. officials said an AC-130 gunship and a B-52 launched an attack after American forces came under fire.

Reports of the incident were conflicting.

Bismullah, communications chief of Uruzgan province where the attack occurred, said Afghans were firing weapons in the area during the wedding as is common in rural Afghanistan." Repeat - not a Good Idea. Those tracers coming up from the ground look just like you mean business. Have y'all ever heard of the Darwin Awards?
