>>Haditha killings and Cover-up From an American point of view it is a manifestation of the stress and battle fatigue the troops are under. The type that results from fighting a war where they feel their purpose is listless, where they see no leadership etc. From and Iraqi point of view, it shows the little regard the US military have for innocent iraqi lives.<< CSFO - What bothers me the most is the Bush administration's politically tone-deaf response. "We're going to give our soldiers some extra training, so they'll stop murdering civilians." The huge problem with the administration's entire Middle East and anti-terrorism policy is that they really don't understand the enemy at all. They're good at the kind of politics that paints the other guy as either bad, sick, stupid, or crazy. But they're no good at all at figuring out how to deal with people who view the world in a different way. The entire fundamentalist islamic terrorist movement is based on one thing that can be expressed in two words: wounded pride. As long as Bush and his pals fail to understand that, they will fail to effectively deal with this very real and terrible threat. - Allen
