Some of the pictures are sad, however I do not believe that US and coallition troops are delibrately targetting civilian targets. Casualties happen, though it is not nice for the families of those killed or maimed, we are attempting to minimise these. However the US could turn Iraq into a carpark with a filling station if it wanted however its pumping money into rebuilding the country and setting up a government... the US wants out of Iraq as soon as possible however if they left now they would be slated by the same people slating them for being there becuase more people would die.
Sure the US could pull out now but Iraq would likely fall apart, while I am for pulling our troops out (not because I do not believe that we need to be there but because I would like to hear the anti-war campaigners complain about the "civil-rights violations in Iraq after we leave) we need to keep them there for now until the country stabilises. Just because you removed the tumour doesn't mean that you should not sew the patient back up again.
