The rules of war say that you are supposed to differentiate yourself from the non-combatants in order to provide some way for your enemy to decide whether they should shoot or not. If you do not do that, then your enemy will be forced to shoot anything that moves. When that happens, that's your fault. > said 30-year-old Ali Hassan, who > was wounded by shrapnel in the battle. ``They claim we are terrorists. So > OK, we are terrorists.

What is a 'civilian installation'? This is a guerrilla war, the guerrillas don't have installations, they borrow the civilian infrastructure as needed. > Six destroyed vehicles sat in > front of the hospital, where witnesses said U.S. tanks shelled people > dropping off the injured.

Clearly the people who took those places to shoot from had more information about what those places were than the people who were just driving through the area and got ambushed. Notice how the kindergarten was evacuated. Why was that? Because the teachers saw that it was being used to attack the Americans from. Isn't that obvious? > So they weren't "trained terrorists", dipshit. > No source for the above material and you add your own nonsense to the end without differentiating it from the material sourced elsewhere. You are a lot like the Iraqi Saddamists in civilian attire hiding in hospitals, mosques and kindergartens.
