I can't imagine what kind of deranged thinking actually thinks that US forces, in fighting the Taliban, want to intentionally bomb hospitals. I'm wondering what such a mindset thinks is the benefit for the US is to be gained from the horrible publicity and anger now coming onto the US forces due to this incident. What conspiracy theory says that MSF was somehow in such an adversarial relationship with the USA that the USA would intentionally bomb a MSF hospital, no matter what the repercussions?
