Reports are that the number of innocent civilian casualties are growing in Iraq, as US-led forces strike against suspected insurgents.
Imagine this scenario for a minute: suppose the US was run by an insane dictator (insert GW joke here). As an average American citizen, you've felt the atmosphere of oppression, but never really experienced it. Now, another country comes in to free you from this dicator. In the process -- while they indiscriminately lob bombs into neighborhoods -- they kill your wife, father and three of your cousins. You have an opportunity to strike back against the invading country, who you believe came to help but has now killed five members of your family. What would you do?
If you don't think the invasion has created more terrorists, you've got your head up your ass.
