to look

My uncle, the only living one from my mother’s side, is about 80 years old, a healthy, handsome and good looking gentleman. He was in his way to bring his wife home; she was in a visit to her parents, when he was shot by American soldiers, he was alone in his car, no eye witness, several bullets penetrate his car, three of them penetrate his body, he died immediately.

If there were no eye witnesses, how does he know it's American soldiers?

Meanwhile, insurgents deliberately mass-murder civilians indiscriminately, violating every aspect of the Geneva Conventions, and you turn a blind eye.

Why is that?

do you think I turn a blind eye?

and why the sudden concern for the Geneva convention? I thought that had been thrown away right at the start of this War on Terr-r.

That's addressed in his comments.

I just read about an SAS soldier (that's right, SAS, the famed killing machines and special forces par excellence) resigning to protest the American treatment of Iraqis. I just read about a Brit colonel who said quote-unquote if I ever fight a war again I'd rather fight it with the Russians. Another Brit officer quoted as saying the Americans treat the Iraqis like "untermenschen".

and the guy himself says he'd been shot at by US troops too. I don't doubt that Iraqi insurgents are also killing civilians. Iraq seems like a shit place to be right now for iraqi's.
