U.S. forces have bombed two wedding parties in Afghanistan within the last week, once on Friday killing at least 23 people, and again on Sunday, killing at least 47 civilians, 39 of them women and children.

Civilian casualties are once again becoming a concern (to the handful still concerned about that particular war), according to the BBC. The UN said last month that nearly 700 Afghan civilians had lost their lives in Afghanistan this year, about two-thirds in attacks by militants and about 255 in military operations.

The sad thing is, this war has been going on so long that this barely qualifies as news anymore.
