Most targets are rather tactical actually. Atleast the ones in Iraq. They're targeting people like American troops, new police, new iraqi military, people who stepped up to try to head the iraqi government, religious leaders who made the mistake of siding with the US, and anyone else that sides with the US. Its not like they're walking down the street shooting anyone they see. There are reasons for who is being killed.
I happen to agree with a lot of what Rdr4evr has said. Most attacks are coming from Iraqis who want us the hell out of their country. Hell it was even quoted in the thread's original story. The one guy who works for the Iraqi government said he would rather have seen 2000 americans dead instead of just 20, and the rest should b driven out. He is NOT the only one that thinks that way. WE invaded THEIR country. This tends to piss people off. Especially when these people see their brothers/fathers/sisters/mothers etc getting killed every single day by our troops. These guys are PEOPLE, they are not nameless masked men who apear fromt he darkness to kill all humanity. They are someone's brother/mother/father/sister. They are defending their homeland from invaders. I'm sure many would do the same.Sure, some people in France rolled over when Hitler came, but many stayed and formed a resistance to repel the invaders. Today those people are looked upon as heros. To the arab people many of the forces in iraq standing up against the US are looked upon as the same.
