innocents are at extreme risk, obviously. Presumably the Palestine Hotel demonstrates that clearly.

IMO the only thing the hotel incident demonstrates is the stupidity of the reporters staying there during a war.

Of course you are talking about command strategic targetting strikes. In the heat of the battle and on instantaneous confrontations the 20 year old on the end of a tank cannon doesn't have that process available to him.

That 20 year old does have one very important asset...his training.

It is amazing how many are surprised that American soldiers will fight back when attacked. It is even more amazing how little concern the press in that hotel has for saddam's regime's war atrocities.

America is going to change in a few days...A new hero is coming home. She may do more to enable change to the oppressed life for women in other countries than the wars.
