There's a curfew in places like Falloujah and any one stupid enough to be out of doors deserves what they get. I can't fault the Marine - the terrorist may have been faking injury to draw the soldier into a deadly ambush. This is one situation where its perfectly appropriate to shoot first and ask questions later. The British press, The Mirror included, ought to know "war is hell." It was either the Marine's life or the other guy's. We Americans treasure our lives enough to know when to pull the trigger.

All civilians that could was warned and given plenty of time to get out. There was and is war in Fallujah.
