Only cowards would resort to blending into the civilian population as a means to kill your enemy. Personally i just wish people would stop supporting a murderous dictator like saddam hussein, and realize that america is not as evil as you people seem to think. Though without proper checks and balances it won't be long till it will become so.

To hell with all this talk of war crimes and the Geneva Convention. The problem here is depressingly simple.

The Iraqi soldiers are stupid.

What's the point of a soldier? To defend the populace. By taking off their uniforms and waving white flags and then ambushing Allied troops, the Iraqi soldiers are guaranteeing that more Iraqi civilians will be killed by the Allies. By hiding in hospitals and taking potshots at Allied vehicles, the Iraqi soldiers are guaranteeing that the Allies will blow up more Iraqi hospitals. That's not what soldiers are there for. That's not their job.

The Iraqi soldiers are just plain stupid.

This is unfortunate for the Iraqi people, and for the world in general, but it's not going to change anything. The Allies are still going to march into Baghdad, even if they lose 15,000 soldiers along the way. The Allies are still going to smash the illegal, illegitmate Iraqi government and replace it with a representative democracy organized and implemented by Iraqi opposition leaders. The Allies are still going to kill or capture every last one of the Feydaeen, the SSO, the Special Republican Guard, the Republican Guard, and the civilian government, and those who are captured alive will be tried for war crimes before an Allied tribunal and hanged from an Allied gallows.

The Iraqis are just making it harder on themselves.

Stupid Iraqis.
