How many of the Iraqi causalities were Iraqi or foreign insurgents killing Iraqi civilians?
Nobody seems to care less about those numbers. The biggest threat to an Iraqi citizens life (back then) were insurgents and criminals. That is who the gunner thought he was firing on.
"Killing ten Iraqis to save an American soldier is not justifiable, any which way you look at it."
No, but surely any solider in the world would kill 100 enemy combatants to save his friend.
This incident and this war do not make any other tragedy, such as Tiananmen, any more or less terrible.
