The US is notoriously careless with civilian lives. The terrorist firebombings of WWII is one example.

Another is Gen. Lew Walt, Marine Corps Commander in Vietnam - "If they're dead and they're Vietnamese, they're Viet Cong!!"

He managed to increase his body counts that way.

In the former Yugoslavia the US deliberately attacked civilian targets (again).

The Bushies are setting up the American public for their attacks on Iraqi civilians by claiming that the Iraqis are hiding military targets midst civilians.

As if they'd care!

By the way, the three US Army Reserve centers nearest me are in the middle of civilian neighborhoods. Are we hiding them?
