The thousands who tried to over throw him are hardly civilians. If you take up arms against a government are you still a civilian?
Well, I cant really talk with someone who listens to American propaganda. Human shields, shooting people who flee, has not been proven and is nothing more then propaganda. First it was that they shot mortars ahead of the people trying to escape, scaring them back, now its they shoot them dead. Conflicting reports like this lead me to be skeptical of anything that is reported, U.S. or Iraqi. How do they know about forcing children to fight? They must be right in there with them huh.
What is this war over anyways? Protecting America? Protecting Iraqis? Protecting Iraqi\'s neighbors?
