spreading freedom and democracy

From AntiWar.com:

A cruise missile loaded with cluster ammunition killed 52 people in Yemen last December. Investigators with Amnesty International have revealed that over half of them were women and children.

Up until now the Yemeni government has claimed sole responsibility for the attack, but new photographs show parts from a "BGM-109D Tomahawk cruise missile designed to be launched from a warship or submarine." The Pentagon's fingerprints are all over this one.

It's unclear whether the missile struck "an al-Qaida training camp" or a village.

When Cluster munitions explode they spray steel fragments and burning zirconium over an area 150 meters in diameter. 98 Countries have banned the production and use of these weapons, but the U.S. isn't one of them, and Obama has refused to consider signing on to such an agreement. For the time being the Empire of the Pentagon plans to continue spreading freedom, democracy, and steel fragments throughout the Middle East.
