This is a horrible tragedy.

But I can only be thankful that we accidently bombed Canadian troops. What other country in the world would take something like this purely as an accident? The UK? Australia? I think thats it.

Imagine what would have happened if we accidently bombed some Russian peacekeepers.... Or even some Chinese troops who might have been based near there.. all hell could have broken loose.

What 2 other countries in the world have not only shared a very large border between the two, but almost 200 years of peace, without the thought o a war between them? I can't think of any. There's a reason why the US and Canada share the world's largest undefended border.


In wars past, we've seen thousands dead. Most at the hands of the enemy, but I'm sure some were still by "friendly fire" and probably higher in numbers (and a lot easier to cover up).

Today, we are able to keep these losses to a minimum, from enemy and friendly fire.
