US troops have killed some Iraqi civilians, no doubt many of them, and our bombing runs even more, but the sectarian viuolence of the last few years which is claiming dozens of Iraqi lives per day is all Sunni vs. Shia. The US has nothing to do with it except the fact that we didn't plan on it happening, didn't foresee the problem and have no way of making it stop.

Look, Bush's entire war is wrong. But in any war it's always the civilians who suffer most. That's just the way it is.

You go way too far when you start refering to our troops as murderers or war criminals. Except in rare cases, even if they do something atrocious it's really the fault of the top leadership who put them into the situation to begin with. Like Abu Graiab. That was a leadership error, but only the little guys got punished.
