These crimes are repeated time and again, today in Gaza or Iran, yesterday in Yugoslavia or Iraq, always by the same Western imperialist murderers who call themselves "democrats."

The NATO bomb fell on the hospital's intensive care unit, entering through the roof, instantly killing three patients and injuring dozens more.

While the bomb was falling, in a nearby operating room, surgeons were performing a cesarean section on a pregnant woman who was injured in the abdomen by shards of glass from the exploded windows. Her baby was also injured.

"Patients in comas or paralyzed, babies, seem to be NATO's ideal targets. They can't hide, they can't run, they can't complain. They can only die in silence," said Serbian Health Minister Leposava Milicevic at the time.

NATO also bombed the Chinese Embassy killing three. Even Isntreal has avoided blowing up embassies. What does it say about your organization when you have entries in the "Even Worse Than Isntreal" category?
