As DR would say, war is hell! Atrocities, as bad and worse than these, have happened in every major war I know of. You'll remember that when Iraqi soldiers moved into Kuwait before the Gulf War they raped, tortured, and mutilated (living and dead) Kuwaitis. I hate that this happened. And the people involved will, no doubt, have the book thrown at them. We are supposed to be better than our enemies in this respect; clearly, in this instance, there was a failure. But we should keep it in perspective. War does strange things to people (even John Kerry admits he committed atrocities). It IS a shameful event. But in no way does it affect the importance or righteousness of this war. Those who would condemn the American military because of it or question the war based on this occurrence are simply ignorant and naive. Our military continues to be the best trained and most humane of any on earth -- these five or six individuals notwithstanding.
