Iraq

Though I applaud the effort made in trying to capture Saddam Hussein, I really object to the methods used. Agressive raids, shooting at cars and homes in residential neighborhoods, killing at least 5 (according to Robert Fisk the death toll lies at 11) and wounding at least 8 is not the way to do this! This task force should be reigned in, their hysterical behaviour is bordering on criminal.

I hope the US military calls for a full investigation into this killing: US troops fired at the unarmed inhabitants of two civilian cars. The one car contained a woman, two children and a disabled man. According to eye-witnesses, all were killed. The inhabitants of another car, which burst into flames were cremated on the spot.



I also want Saddam captured and brought to justice but the cure is worse than the disease. These are people being killed here, not statistics! Even one more life lost for this dictator is one too many. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and inexcusable and must be stopped at once.
