&gt;Why is it obvious that the attack on the hospital wasn&#x27;t purposeful?<p>Because there is no motive.<p>From the story you quote &quot;It&#x27;s unclear whether commanders who unleashed the AC-130 gunship on the hospital — killing at least 22 patients and hospital staff — were aware that the site was a hospital or knew about the allegations of possible enemy activity.&quot;<p>What is more likely. The US suddenly decided to murder a bunch of universally beloved Doctors or they fucked up bigtime?<p>&gt;I have no words for this. How a person can even entertain such thoughts is beyond me.<p>I find it hard to believe that you can&#x27;t understand why I&#x27;d think killing a bunch of Talibani is great for the world.
