set it up to look like what happened in Afghanistan when a wedding was actually hit due to celebratory firing being taken for ground fire by orbiting aircraft.

I'm getting tired of the terrorists' claims that firing powerful weapons into the air is some ancient honorable mideast "tradition."

I mean...

• How many assault weapons were available for use by wedding guests 60 years ago?
• Two generations ago, did the traditional Islamicist bride and groom hand out assault weapons to the guests like disposable cameras or souvenir candleholders?
• Did Akhmed and Son's Wedding Rental center do a booming business in AK-47s back in 1947?
• Shouldn't a society that reveres the middle ages be shooting longbows at weddings?

Isn't that written in the Koran? "Ye shall fire thou AK-47 into the air whenst thou vow to take thee a wife or goat."

You mean that Mohammed didn't write a law allowing that in the Koran?

Well, color me flabbergasted.

Longbows just don't have the same report, and there's rarely that flame thing when they're discharged after dark!
