hi, Well it is more than obvious that the US troops are avoiding civilians-the reason is different though. The iraqi republican troops are not fighting in uniform-ther are fighting in kutra-traditional muslim dress.You don't know who is a civilain and who is an iraqi army personal-the US army is trying to reach baghdad with out getting into trouble.They have had enough.Being in a desert storm for one night is enough to keep one in bed for a week.The US army is already suffering from fatigue,the troops called on for air support to hit an iraqi armoured vehicle but turned out to be bushes and desert shrubs. The US troops were fighting each other-when iraqi guerilla's fired on both sides and the US troops ended up shooting each other. The US soldiers are finding to figure out who are US soldiers themselves at first glance-US army dresses were found in Nadarayiah and today one suicide bomber blew up 5 US soldiers. They claim that this war is not what they saw in their war game.
Any way one thing is clear-superior missile,aircraft or other electronic substitutes cannot win a war.The US would need more ground troops in iraq and US is always one step back in putting ground troops fearing casualities.So may be if a country has 500,000 soldiers even US might not win a war against them.
