Heather, I hate to say it, but "rules of war" is a term that makes my skin crawl.
The only reason there are war rules is because people can agree on things. Saddam can't agree, so why assume he would play by any rules? He is doing what any tyrant would do, he is using every advantage, every trick, and every nuance to try to slow down the advance. it sucks because it means innocent people will be killed - and just as importantly, soldiers dressed as civilians will be killed and people will think the US killed civilians!
Bahgdad has most of it's anti-aircraft guns set up on the rooftops of apartment buildings... because they know that the US is going to try to play by the "rules of war"...
That by itself tells all the story.
