WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. politicians have expressed regret over the weekend killings of 18 civilians along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, but said the airstrike was justified by the erroneous belief that a top al Qaeda leader was among the group, which included women and children.
"Now, it's a regrettable situation, but what else are we supposed to do?" Sen. Evan Bayh, asked rhetorically. "It's like the wild, wild west out there. The Pakistani border's a real problem."
Now there is the responce to what happened from the americians the only one's who actually seem upset are the pakistani's newspapers in australia and uk reported it but there seems to be a shortage of condemation.May be it s the wrong kind of people who were killed .
