How long have we heard these stories about weddings being bombed? Back to the Bush years and sometimes, it was via airstrikes. If I lived over in Afghanistan, I'd be super careful to ever go to any event with a lot of people, weddings a perfect example. The same pertains to Iraq though, that seems to have improved.
