um, truly sorry for the family's loss... but bad shit happens in war. this is a war and people will die in brutal ways. we can either sit around worry about who is torturing who or we can pull out all the stops and start a war of elmination. until we have destroyed those who oppose us we can not build a democracy. we must truly rid the region of the old regime and those who, for whatever reason, oppose change. and, unfortunately that means large scale combat operations resulting in many dead. and if the Iraqi "civilian" population allows the terrorists or insurgents, depending on your views to live in their midst then the "civilians" will also pay a very high price in casualties. i'm pretty sure that in WWII there were many civilian casualties in germany and japan, but we won. the war ended and we went in and rebuilt their nations to better than pre-war conditions.
