"You're not one of those people who think our troops are the ones killing those people, are you? "
We created the lawlessness, and yes, we have killed innocent civilians with our bombs, and guns, (what is antiseptically called "collateral damage" ) and sometimes, thankfully infrequent, in more 'up close and personal' ways:
The Al-Mahmudiyah killings occurred on 12 March 2006, in a house to the southwest of Yusufiyah, a village to the west of the town of Al-Mahmudiyah, which is south of Baghdad, Iraq. Five United States Army soldiers of the 502nd Infantry Regiment were charged with the crimes: (i) Sgt. Paul E. Cortez, (ii) Spc. James P. Barker, (iii) Pfc. Jesse V. Spielman, (iv) Pfc. Brian L. Howard, and (v) Pfc. Steven D. Green (whom the Army discharged before the crime's discovery). A fourteen-year-old girl Abeer Qasim Hamza was gang-raped and murdered, after her family was murdered: her mother, Fakhriyah Taha Muhsin, 34; father, Qasim Hamza Raheem, 45; and five-year-old sister Hadeel Qasim Hamza. [1] As of August 2007 Barker, Spielman and Cortez were sentenced for this crime.[2]
