I agree re your comments on civilian casualties. My husband and I mentioned it when an embedded reporter was talking about how some Iraqis were allowed to pass by tanks rolling toward Baghdad because they "looked" okay. I wondered if the press wasn't there if the troops wouldn't have at least pulled guns on the people walking by and telling them to stand back.

Let us just hope that all survive...this little lesson will not be lost on the command structure top to bottom. Unfortunate that a weakness had to be found this way...but it's usually the way that they are found out.
