Is the United States military killing 300 Iraqis a day? If we are, why isn't it news? All indications are that over 600,000 Iraqis have been killed, most by American military action. It continues today with 1000 U.S. patrols a day. A metallic sound behind a door is reason to kill everyone in a house. If 30 are killed and there are no insurgents found (women, children, and old men), it is a tragic mistake. If a possible insurgent is found (a fighting age man) then it is a justified attack.
