Blowing up an entire market to kill ONE traitor would be a valuable lesson to everyone to shun, avoid & alienate rats who risk instant vaporization.

You're assuming they were "innocent"... locals might have other info... the market could be a "den of rats", a favorite of traitors or callous occupiers who think women & children offer inoculation from attack... we don't get the Afghan side do we?

US govt claims authority to target the so called enemy anywhere at anytime, so according to me angry Afghanis can do the same... war is hell.

So basically all the innocent people who've been blown to bits by insurgents were necessary losses so Al Qaeda could teach everyone a lesson.
You know what I really like? You seem to have no problem with innocents being killed so long as it's not the US who does the killing. Hello, double standards.

Instead you assume they must be guilty of something and therefore deserve what they get. Meanwhile the people who actually do the killing aren't doing anything wrong because they must have really been CIA operatives.

Well, shucks. Let's just crank up as many B52s as we can and we can revisit "carpet bombing" in the 21st Century. Just lay waste to Afghanistan and destroy every city, town and mud hut. Since, according to you, no one is innocent.

Actually, no, the US can't. Take a read thru the ROEs and then feel free to unf**k your statement.
