The New York Times reports the Afghan government is upset that their civilians are sometimes killed in air strikes. It is dangerous to live in a war zone, which Afghanistan clearly is.
In the absence of the military activity that has been ongoing for the past decade, the present Afghan government wouldn't even exist. The Taliban or some collection of warlords would be running that dump of a country.
The other DrC and I shake our heads at this bizarre notion of "humane warfare" that the press seems to believe is possible. I hear in it echoes of the "one hand tied behind" policies pursued by President Johnson in the Vietnam War.
It was crazy then, it is just as insane today.
