re: Your point being -- what . . . ?
That civilians joining in the fight should not be aimed at?
If so, how about if you go to Iraq and just shoot at the uniforms that shoot at you. Ignore the "civilians" who open fire, because they don't count.
Or is it just the way I'm reading it?
Dead civilians: "...many civilians got their guns and joined the fight."
Okay. Could be that you're using your (n/t) post as a stage to simply point out the media hype that the U.S. is killing civilians, regardless of whether or not they should be considered as dangerous, armed felons in a war zone. In that case, I agree, and your post becomes somewhat funny.
But if that's not what you meant either, then -- what?
