On tragedy today, the results are that Iraqi citizens are the victims and caught in the mesh of US Army fire power...

Suicide bombings will not turn the tide of any conflict and will not levy unacceptable losses on American soldiers. The Anglo-American garrisons outside Iraqi cities are somewhat cut-off from access and therefore will not be susceptible to the waves of suicide bombings as seen in Israel. Suicide bombings are an effective tactic against civilian population, where it can induce a tense climate of fear however it cannot unseat a military base. It is as we see sadly today the Iraqi citizens who will be impacted from Saddam reign of terror. Using combatants in civilian clothes subjects the entire population to very high risk. By highlighting the concept of suicide bombing as part of the military strategy it only shows the scant regard this regime has for its own citizens.Today’s tragedy was result of yesterday Iraqi scorn, it is sad to see that poor citizens have to pay a very high price. War is a very difficult business and therefore it is the last resort. I have greatest of sympathies for the innocent citizens used as cannon fodder by Saddam fedayeens. One needs to ask if the soldiers of the 3rd Division were following the orders and rules of engagement by first waving to stop, second warning shots to stop , third shots in the radiator why the car did not stop!
