Iraqi civilians are not prohibited from carrying arms... much like what it should be like over here, but I digress. It is very common for the Iraqis to form armed neighborhood watches to protect their homes from violent crime and terrorists. Two armed civilians, who have made no aggressive moves, does not justify killing them... and certainly not the indiscriminate killing of all civilians in the immediate area. To say nothing of the indiscriminate killing of other civilians who come to the aid of the wounded. Even if that van had been a uniformed enemy military ambulance its destruction and the killing of its crew would have been a war crime. I'm disgusted.
