Doctors Without Borders Says Bombing of Afghan Hospital Was No Mistake

The head of an international medical charity whose hospital in northern Afghanistan was destroyed in a U.S. airstrike says the “extensive, quite precise destruction” of the bombing raid casts doubt on American military assertions that it was a mistake.

The Oct. 3 attack on the compound in Kunduz city, which killed at least 22 patients and hospital staff, should be investigated as a possible war crime, said Christopher Stokes, general director of Doctors Without Borders, which is also known by its French abbreviation MSF.

The trauma hospital was bombed during a firefight between Taliban and government troops, as U.S. advisers were helping Afghan forces retake the city after the insurgents overran it and seized control on Sept. 28. Afghan authorities say they are now largely back in control of Kunduz.

I doubt that the majority of the German people felt that they were evil under the Nazi regime. If the government is evil, are the people responsible? We know the answer.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer died to in his fight to rid the world of evil. He went to the gallows with a smile because he knew where he would spend eternity. I believe this government is more evil than Nazi Germany. How will the Lord judge a people who condone butchering their babies for spare parts? How strong is your faith?
