- sorry to drop in out of the blue, but I have been reading this board for a while, and had to say something on this subject. I tend to be pretty skeptical about things, so I try to find primary sources, like what the Iraqi people themselves have to say about terrorism. The second thing I asserted - about civilian targets - is from a firsthand account, from a person too close to me to doubt. I'm not saying the U.S. deliberately targeted civilians, but there were non-military targets that could have had civil servants in the building just doing their jobs when it was bombed.
Alot of the bombings does come from the Sunnis but I believe they target more of the Iraqi military and Police than random car bombings...etc... Remember, one of the main points of Zarqawis letter to Bin Laden was that a civil war between the Sunnis and Shi'ites was their last effort. Something like the Shi'ites were dogs and Sunnis were dumb enough to be led.

SOME civil targets were part of Shock and Awe and is was to destroy the infrastructure. Part of the plan to basically destroy the Sunni moral. It's not like what is being implied that we levelled towns and villages.

Innocent people did die but what other choice was there. Hell, the U.N. would have eventually lifted sanctions if France, Russia, Germany, and China had their way. Then what?
