Winning Hearts and Minds in Afghanistan

This is a perfect example of how you create more terrorists:

A U.S.-led raid Sunday on a suspected insurgent cell in the eastern province of Nangahar left as many as six Afghans dead, including a woman and a teenage girl, and sparked protests by hundreds of angry Afghans chanting, "Death to Bush!"

U.S. officials said four insurgents were among the dead, but it was the civilian deaths that infuriated the protesters, who carried five bodies to a main highway and blocked traffic with felled trees. The bodies of the woman and girl were entirely covered by sheets, while the men's faces were exposed.

So we kill their families and they are supposed to love us for it? Amazing how this was a U.S. led raid also - as opposed to a NATO one.
