Why is Wikipedia covering up U.S. war crimes?

The following paragraph should state that U.S. murdered seven children senselessly and out of cold blood. The word 'retaliation' has no place when what you are doing is nothing but state level terrorism. No wonder that everyone is so clueless why Afghans hate the west so much. You are not even honest to yourselves. Sad.

"The endeavor to evacuate all these civilians did not go uncontested. The Taliban did not comply with the airlift, and tensions surrounding the airport were very high. On 26 August, an ISIS suicide attack killed 13 US soldiers and 170 civilians at the international airport. After a couple of months of research, the US military concluded that the assault was done by a lone bomber and could have been prevented. The event was confusing with the US army and Taliban accusing each other of initially opening fire. American retaliation followed soon and three days later, out of fear of a bloody repetition, the US wrongfully targeted a white car with a drone strike, killing 10 civilians including seven children." 78.55.133.187 (talk) 10:46, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
