Illegal, immoral, but war is messy, eh?

Collective punishment.

Four Iraqis have been injured after US helicopters bombed residential buildings in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil, Aljazeera has learned.

Aljazeera's correspondent in Iraq's Kurdistan, Ahmad al-Zawiti, said the bombing on Wednesday damaged the building where students of Salah al-Din University live, in the Sidawa neighbourhood.

He said the building and other nearby houses were set ablaze, adding that some nearby cars were also damaged.

Four students were injured in the two-hour-long strike, officials said. The attack came after a US helicopter had come under fire from the same area, witnesses said.

Always with the retaliatory airstrikes.

This is one hell of a holy mess. But it looks like as long as Halliburton is making a profit, it shall continue. Iraq's a pretty big country to lay waste to, but I think we have enough bombs.
