Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, says fewer than 500, and the NY Times says 800.

Whichever figure is more accurate, it's tragic of course but an inescapable consequence of a very just war. Sure we could have made fewer mistakes - and so could have the Afghans.

Do you have any idea how many Afghans have died in 20+ years of near constant war?? 1 million? 2 million? The Afghan government itself firmly believes that if several hundred or even thousand die in the process of putting an end to the madness, it's a small price to pay, and they'll willingly pay it.
