For the Americans, the focus is on protecting civilians - and not treating every Iraqi as a potential bomber or sniper. That means no more kicking in doors during routine house searches, no more rousting a terrified family out of bed for a midnight search.

Past American efforts have been described by a British officer, Brig. Gen. Nigel Aylwin-Foster, as suffering from ``cultural insensitivity'' bordering on ``institutional racism.''

Instead, troops are encouraged to ask permission to enter homes - as long as nobody is shooting from inside - and to hold their fire unless they are sure of their target.

Sounds like an ROE policy the ACLU came up with. No wonder there's never a shortage of Islamofascist "insurgents" in Iraq. If this PC nonsense is here to stay, I hope we never "liberate" another (turd world) country again.
