Cry, beloved Afghanistan for your unborn children

As the new season of the world's longest-running current war, in Afghanistan, is warming up, the Afghan civilians and children are falling prey as easy victims. Early this month, a NATO airstrike killed 11 children, aged between two months and seven years in the Shigal district of Kunar province bordering Pakistan. At the same time, with the Western combat drawdown in advance of a scheduled withdrawal of the bulk of Western troops by the end of 2014, the violence would likely take a turn for the worse.
