re: Repeat: cars filled with explosives have killed our soldiers doing exactly this.

You don't shoot at people to encourage them to slow down when you are running a traffic stakeout in Pennsylvania. Sometimes you have to when you are in Iraq. Cars with bombs in them have killed many Americans and many more Iraqis.

I'm sorry you can't seem to comprehend this.
