Further, with mosques, schools, and hospitals being used as bases, we will have the horrid choice of either going after these buildings, or letting them stand as bases for the insurgents. This is especially true with the Shrine of Ali in Najaf. I agree that the rules of war allow for attacks on mosques if they are used for military purposes, but I think it highly likely that we would be blamed for any damage.
This is a classic double bind, which has always been one of my nightmare situations.
So what do you think now that our troops have returned fire when someone was firing at them from a minaret?
