More doom and gloom in Iraq....

How would you feel if China had just conquered the US, and they started searching house by house for weapons? Remember, the soldiers can't be polite, because they have to be ready to kill you at a moment's notice.

In Iraq, we started searching for weapons, and the Iraqis started a riot. *During* the war, it didn't matter how many civilians were slaughtered in the crossfire. That's not true anymore. There is some number of dead Iraqi civilians that is too many -- after which the US would have to leave. So we can't just shoot every rioter.

Meanwhile in another town, US soldiers gunned down three teenagers at a wedding party. People shouldn't shoot rifles into the air at wedding parties, damn it.

But the 3rd Infantry Division had better be brought home quick. They developed easy trigger fingers during the conquest. That's not appropriate any more. And they're tired. They deserve to come home to their families.

Not that some other division deserves to take their place -- getting killed, one or two per day is bad for morale.
