Fine. Let's just shoot everybody.
Well according to Raoul, that's what the Americans are doing in Iraq. Or do you have another definition of trigger happiness?
With as many camareman and soldiers in one place, I'm surprised there haven't been more than 2 incidents so far. As with any civilian deaths it is tragic, and I hope they can find a way to make it less likely to happen further. How do you make a camara look less like a weapon. I suppose they could carry a big white flag with TV written on it. Journalists during the ground war taped TV to their vehicles. I often wondered what kept Iraqi soldiers from doing the same. What would keep an Iraqi missile toting geurrila from mimicking the camaramen?

PS I'm certainly glad most toy guns are painted in big flashy colors now days. The guns my brothers and I played with as kids looked like the real thing. I would even be careful buying paintball guns nowdays. Although the hopper and CO2 tank should be a dead giveaway, I wouldn't take any chances.
