I'm sorry, but I can't agree with your last point either. Being at war should not lead to an alleviation of responsibility.

1. I'm not saying it was done intentionally, but it is clear that the Italians were not sensative (nice lib word
) to the realities of what is happening in this war. Our soldiers have been killed in scores by cars doing exactly what the Italians were doing. Do you not find any fault with the Italians, either by their driving tactics or their lack of communication with the Iraqi or US security forces?
2. The rules of engagement in war are different than the ROE for police officers. The only alleviation of responsibilty in this case would have been if our troops
did not fire upon a speeding car coming to our checkpoint
