So, why is there no condemnation of this in the US media or the Afgan government?

If the US accidentally causes colatoral dammage, they Afgan people and government are outraged and the media reports on it as their openining story.

Yet if insurgents INTENTIONALLY cause loss of life with these road-side bombs, just to make their point... There is silence from the Afgan people, their government, and the media?

Why is that?

Why aren't the Afgan people in the streets protesting and burning effigies when insurgents do this stuff and brag that they did it on purpose, like they are when US forces have a regretable accident and someone gets hurt or killed?
