>>coalition forces desire to minimize civilian casualties.<< Huey, just out of curiousity, which country's troops make up the "coalition", and in what numbers? If the men and women were so courageous, why didn't they dispatch some troops to take this building in a residential neighborhood, if they thought Saddam might be there, instead of a B-1 bomber with bunker busters. Certainly they have decisively "taken" other structures including the airport, and the Presidential palace in Baghdad. They thought long and hard about it too. The bomber was there 45 minutes after the so-called intelligence was provided. This is "killing flies with a sledgehammer" stuff.

Huey -- while not disagreeing with your premise that our military is doing its very best to avoid needless killing, the fact is, it comes with the territory.

Queen Noor Sees Greater U.S.-Arab Divide By CLAUDIA LA ROCCO, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - As long as fighting continues in Iraq (news - web sites), cultural divides between the United States and the Muslim world will continue to deepen, Jordan's Queen Noor says. Latest news: "Muslims are seeing a very aggressive, confrontational side of American foreign policy that's not being balanced, in their minds, by a conviction that it is motivated by American principles, as opposed to economic issues," Noor said in an interview with The Associated Press. She said it is important to involve the United Nations (news - web sites) in the reconstruction process in postwar Iraq, where America's military presence is viewed by many in the region as imperialism. story.news.yahoo.com
