This is a war zone, and warzones have civilians in then. The Marines aren't walking down the street shooting people at random; They are dealing with threats and engaging in fire fights.

The problem is US troops aren't walking down the streets to patrol them, they are bombing from the air. The are too afraid to loose their own troops so they just bomb from the air and don't care how many women and children get killed.
Firepower alone will NEVER win the war the Iraq, brainpower will, but I'm afraid our 'leaders' will never understand that until its too late.
