dianavan,

so if we find out that the civilians in Falluja were forced to stay by the insurgents, you will continue to blame the US for their deaths?


In combat, anyone who shoots at you is, de facto, the enemy. The Geneva convention prohibits most of what the insurgents are doing, beause it endangers non-combatants. How many more police recruits do you want to have their throats cut because you don't want to place the blame for the deaths on the insurgents, where it belongs?
