My apologies. I wasn't clear in my representation of my views vs. the site's stance. Yes the site is finger pointing. I am not. My view is that whether it was our bomb or Saddam's forces using the people as shields, the end result is that a civilian is dead. I am not trying to push an agenda, even if the site is. I am merely acknowledging and mourning the loss of a life caught in the crossfire.
