For the US army to call lass of civilian life "tragic" is really cheap. They don't understand the magnitude of the problem they are creating by saying that. In islam, if you kill somebody by mistake, you still have to either pay with your life or pay a compensation to the family of the deceased. It is the equivalent of $100,000 in today's terms, based on the value of 100 camels ($1000 each). It is left up to the family to decide, and the Quran, although preserving the right for "an eye for an eye", encourages people to forgive and forget since it was not intentional. But to gloss over and suffice by calling it "tragic" and not even attempting to seek pardon from the families concerned, creates a situation of revenge. Watch the movie "The Beast" about an afghan man's unrelenting quest for revenge from a soviet tank squad. Quite realistic.
