BBC NEWS | Middle East | US strikes kill ’70 Iraq rebels’
[The US military] said all the dead were militants, although eyewitnesses are quoted saying that many were civilians.
Duh. All the militants are civilians. That’s been the big issue with the present conflict: There are no uniformed combatants. Stupid journalists. Your readers are not as stupid as you are.

No, but they are not as knowledgeable as YOU are. Also, I suppose that the US military and Iraqi eyewitnesses might have different definitions.

I went to The Gandhian Conference for Non-violence this past weekend (it’s a long story). In one of the workshop sessions everyone had to role play each of the following parts: George Bush, An Iraqi Citizen, Cindy Sheehan, A U.S. Soldier, and a Non-violent Activist.
Ummmm, yeah. Very revealing as to the mentality of others.
Every single person in my group made the solder out to be ignorant and a victim.
I was dumbfounded.

Don’t be so sure about that.
