Remember, the Iraqi soldiers have been firing missiles and shells blindly into the air for weeks, using no guidance due to radar-seeking missiles. What goes up must come down. Add to that the presence of GPS jammers, and there is a significant possibilty the fault is on the part of the Iraqi soldiers, who have many times placed civilians in harm's way.
And you're still not getting it. The Iraqis knew that some would probably die. It was a matter of time and place. I'm not saying the individual deaths make any difference in the playout of the war, and they are certainly tragic, but a certain number were going to happen and the Iraqis knew that.
And what resolve, exactly, was stiffened? Have you seen any signs of resolve? Or are you swallowing everything the Information Minister has been saying, and truly beleive the Americans were dying by the thousands on Baghdad's gates? And who is the foe? The only people fighting are ones who have repeatedly proven that they do not value the lives of civilians at all.
