Re: US Marine urinated on dead Iraqi at Haditha
^ I don't think its as simple as raising a flag for the marines for "fighting insurgency day and night". Its the US invasion and subsequent policies in Iraq that have created this nightmare, so the marines should be thanking their own government to put them in this situation. Arguably if the US hadn't invaded Iraq, we wouldn't be seeing this sectarian infighting and insurgency etc. Its a big what-if discussion and I don't want to get into that.
However, having said that, there is simply no excuse for the alleged actions by some of these people. Its a brutal and dreadful war and my sympathies to all those who have suffered as a result.
