Doug, that's just it, not all the "non-insurgents" have left because they were blocked a few days ago (no male under 45 to cross), or because they have nowhere to go, or because they wanted to stop and protect their property (as in warehouses, jewellers, etc). Bad decision on their part, I grant you, but not a reason for any deaths among them to be brushed off as "collateral damage".

I don't give a shit about terrorists, murderers etc (though in a different discussion I would like to examine who created them in the first place, but leave it for now). You want them killed - fine. It's the innocents I worry about, and whether in the heat of battle they will even be recognised as innocents.
