7 children killed by the U.S forces!

Afghanistan of late seems to have come under attack by a wave of suicide bombers.Afghanistan rightly pointed the finger at Pakistan which it accuses of trying to destabilise its government.but in the midst of all this the U.S led forces decided to take on the insurgents only to kill 7 innocent children.it is the young and the old who are suffering the most be it Iraq or Afghanistan.the militants use them as human shields and the end result is that now '7 kids are dead'.
First of all both the United Nations as well as the International Red cross should both step in and make sure that such practises of human shields are not permitted.what is wrong with these people that they have to resort to such practises.
What makes all this worse is the fact that the U.S forces seems to have no second thoughts on attacking such human shields.now 7 kids are dead so what is the U.S going to tell their parents,that they are sorry?would just an apology be okay?will it bring the kids back to life?why should the life of a U.S soldier be much more valued than that of a kid?it is high time that both the United nations and the Red cross stepped in both Afghanistan and Iraq if not to administer the countries at least to ensure that both the old and the young of both of these nations have at least a little semblance of safety!by the way the dead boys are aged between 10 to 16 years.the blood of the young and the old is running on the ground.will the world answer to that??
