OK that's fine, but sitting here in our cushy living rooms and armchair quarterbacking doesn't help their morale NOR give them the tools/education they need to fix/prevent any further incidents. If you're complaining about morale then don't harp and make it worse. I'm betting they're already in serious trouble for it, especially if they did not follow procedure. However if the family was out after curfew, I'm betting they were. And if they really feared being out after curfew I wouldn't be silly enough to speed through the streets trying to get home, I'd either take shelter or just before curfew seek some help FROM the soldiers in getting home. Anything but racing through the streets looking suspicious.

* I am sure they're wondering why they don't have air conditioners. Or why the British have reported looters stealing cable that supplies electricity to power Iraqis' AC.

* You are right. I am sorry for sounding like a whiner. I am sorry I didn't read the part where one of the women said, she wants to drink Bush's blood. Not exactly a sympathy engendering response...
