It is clearly evident that their already trying to hide the facts from the media and the whole world. So why wait to take these barbarians to the International Courts to face justice. Have they not enough damage to these countries and their civilians. Where is the Human Rights for these people.

Saad Uddin, Godalming, Surrey

This has been going on since Britain and America invaded Afghanistan. The British and American Military are barbaric savages and should be brought to justice for these Genocides. Do not forget that the British and Americans are perpetrating these atrocities in Iraq as well.

Arthur Guy, Gloucester, England

The US have a reputation of bombing the blazes out of things from way back. This extends to so-called friendly fire as well.

margie, victoria, australia

American approach can be summarised in two words... war crimes. How can they ever hope of winning the war with actions like these ? Unless the goal is just to kill Taliban/Al Qaeda leadership and then hot foot out of there. Hence the saturation bombing of remote villages killing untold civlians.

John Taylor, London,

The Times MUST publish this video. All life is sacred. The USA, and, by complicity, Britain must now be regarded as serious terrorist states targeting women and children in their absurd 'War Against Terror'. Please write to you government now. Whose son and daughter will be next?

Steven Ashe, Newcastle-Gateshead, England

"winning the hearts and minds" - the only way the Taleban will resurge is through direct support of the local population. The Taleban is unpopular but the US is going to drive the locals right back to them - after the mess the US will cut and run as always.
2010 two lost wars, and economic mess

T. Andre, London,

Mephis Tom,thanks for the honesty I was just going to write that nothing has changed since Vietnam,Mail Lai and carpet bombing of Cambodie.US control world reporting as demonstrated bt the Military/Fox/North axis of evil here.Mani and Rotherham Nick would you justify genocide to punish a minority?

Jim, Preston,

In the book "Other Losses", the allies subjugation of German towns went like this. The Russians went in and executed all males with a shot to the back of the head. the French hanged all males. The British sent all males to concentration camps to starve and the Americans shelled the entire town.

"We had to destroy the village to save it." Exactly 40 years after Mai Lai, where 504 Vietnamese women, children and babies were killed by US soldiers, nothing's changed. Americans have killed countless civilians in Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan. The US is the one creating the bombers of the future.

Rakesh Krishnan, Auckland, New Zealand

Unfortunately this is bound to happen. The Taliban or other insurgents may be terrorists, but they live with their families and near other families. This is exactly the same as Iraq. This sort of war is not winnable if you wish to keep ant semblance of world support.

KW, Bognor Regis, England

If you have cancer, is it the doctor's fault if the treatment makes you lose your hair and become immune deficient? No - it is the cancer's fault. The same applies here: the cancer of islamic extremism is the problem here, not the good faith efforts to eradicate it.

Nick, Rotherham, UK

When terrorist groups hide behind civilian population, there are collateral damages of civilians being killed.

Have human rights groups taken up causes of victims of terrorist actions?

Have they come to rescue and rehabilitation of poor thousands of people?

Partisan action. Must be sued

R K Mani , Mumbai, India

Anyone who remembers the Iran Contra affair must find it insane that anyone would use Oliver North to provide reliable evidence of anything at all. If this is the standard of Fox's journalistic respectability and US military honesty then we should all pay much more attention to Al Jazeera.

richard, horley, uk

Truth be told, thanks to Bush and his cronies, America is nothing more than a terrorist state, with a solid record of carrying out the same kind of atrocities that it routinely criticizes others over.

Bringing these criminals to justice is long overdue.

Don Phillips, Austin, Texas, US

This incident reminds me of my country's actions in Vietnam where I served in 1968-1969. We bombed, strafed and fired artillery everywhere there might possibly be enemy forces. If we killed innocent civilians, the attitude was, 'So what, kill'em all and let God sort out the bad from the good.'

Tom, Memphis Tennessee, USA

It's a shame there aren't a few more video phones being used in south Afghanistan. These kinds of bombardments are going on almost every week, but are in areas so remote and dangerous that they don't get reported in the media.

Jane, Kabul, Afghanistan

Ollie NOrth the fine upstanding man, never been accused of any wrongdoing, or the one involved in the Iran-Contra affair, extreme right wing, NNRA member who writes for SoF? Read the next issue to see the 'Commie liberal press' accused of supporting Americas enemys!

chris, london,

Can we get a David Cameron or David Millband comment on this use of excessive force? Why don't they suggest sanctions against the US and halt further military cooperation, as they suggest against the Kremlin in Georgia. Any one for a Goose and Gander supper?

Simon, London,

Well, I would have thought that it was time that thought is given to War Crimes or Crimes Against Humanity, as I am not sure what this is - a war or suppression. This has been going on and on and nothing said except for the usual enquiries that end nowhere, but just for 'appearances' sake.

Rex, Kathmandu, Nepal

There's the US again saving the world from terror. Where would we be without them?

Well thank god they are sticking their noses in over in Georgia, the worlds peacekeepers keeping us all safe tonight.

GM, Brisbane,

Ollie North "corroborating" something? Surely you jest. Ollie North whose secretary sneaked incriminating documents out of his office in her undergarments? Does the US military have any idea how RIDICULOUS it is to use Ollie North as a reference? (Maybe they hoped they could conceal his identity.)

Arik Silferman, Milwaukee, USA

Criticise as much as you like, the US simply have no interest in 'collateral' damage, they have their own agenda and that's all that matters. Anyone else's life is meaningless to them.

Paul Downes, Milton Keynes, UK
