You are aware of the fact that by the time U.S. troops attempted to retake Falujah more than enough time had elapsed to allow innocent civilians the opportunity to evacuate, right?
I'm no dummie. I have no doubt that there are more than enough Lt. Calley-wannabes and "Christian" soldiers on a killaragheadforchrist trip on the ground in Iraq, and if they catch those cocksuckers I think we ought to turn them over to the Iraqis for trial as war criminals (not that it will every happen).
But don't get pissy about U.S. troops using nasty weapons to kill bad guys.

Bad guys???
Ummm the assumption here is that The US had the right to invade.
The majority of the terrorists are and were in Saudi , Syria and Iran
We know that the invasion was carried out on false inteligence in extemis with most nations being against it.
Perhaps from the point of view of the average Iraqi they were merely defending there home land.
