Keep in mind the tactics of Sadaam Hussein in making use of human shields. He placed civilians in close proximity to government and military targets, knowing that the US and its allies would not deliberately strike those targets with the civilians there. Don't underestimate the cynicism of these people to use their own civilian population as a defensive weapon. I simply do not believe that giving them a chance to get civilians out of the area will work. The opposite is likely to happen. If our government warns the Taliban that we are coming in, and where we will be coming in, I would expect them to move children and women in and dare us to follow through.
