#1 This just makes me want to be irrational and lash out.. WHY are these evil monsters targeting their own? A Hospital WTF? That ain't the way to make friends and influence people. So sad.

#2 They target their own when they can't target Americans. They know our domestic political opposition (in other words, the press) will blame our military for allowing the bombing, not the bad guys for doing the bombing, so it is a win-win for the bad guys.

And attacking hospitals are a communist trick dating back to WWII, when volunteer Kosomol units would ski to rear areas and attck soft targets like German field hospitals. It has a strong negative impact of morale when aid stations/hospitals get hit. The Viet Cong during Viet Nam routinely attacked medical aid stations.

#3 Why were 100,000 Algerians hacked, butchered, and beheaded the past 12 years?
