Ernie,
You seem to forget that we are not at war with the Afghans. We are at war with the Taliban. They are the SOB'S that attacked us. If the Afghans are hiding the Taliban then they get what they get.
There are always going to be causalities of war. There are people that want nothing to do with it but it is being fought in their back yards. I hate it that innocent people are being killed and will continue being killed.
It is the Taliban, Iraqi and who knows who else's way to attack, hide among the civilians and then blame us for innocent people get killed. We can't walk away from this until Bin Laden is captured or dead.
Our problem is that our hands are tied. We are expected to fight a war within the rules of humanity and the opponents do not.

As always, we can agree to disagree. Nothing personal, end of my rant.
