War turns people into murderers, and the people who yell for war, that it's necessary, are the lowest of the low. War-mongerers are vile human filth.

The above comment is the only one that pertained to the topic at hand. You're losing your touch, Seekerof.
One voice of experience and first-hand knowledge is better equipped to comment on the situation in Iraq than *any member of ATS, including moderators.
This former Marine is expressing his remorse for the killing of innocent civilians, and you, Seekerof, ask for opposing views? Is this correct? :shk:
Edited to add the shk emoticon, thanks jj!
*excluding those members whom have served in Iraq

If you expose a man to extreme violence, you can turn him into a killer. If, what is said in the interview, is true, then its likely that all the violence in Iraq and from sept 11th have turned troops into cold blooded killers.

This is not a marine problem, this is not a intelligence proble, this is a problem of the stupid people sitting in this car. If they gave warning shots (and the Iraquis should already know what that means) he should stop, period. All the deaths are the drivers fault.

I'm sure that's exactly how the millions of Iraqis see it.
Oh wait, they actually see it as murder, and they use it as reason to kill more American soldiers.
Let's try this:
If you were the Iraqi in the car and you didn't stop fast enough at the foreign occupying army's checkpoint, would you say that your life, your wife's and all your children's should be forfeit?
Well?
