When US guards attack innocent civilians, unprovoked, how does it effect our ability to achive peace in Iraq?

Question

What are these idiots thinking? Apparently there is video showing that the US Blackwater guards who shot and killed 15 innocent Iraqi civilians, were entirely unprovoked. They claimed they were under fire, but a newly released video shows them attacking unprovoked, with no return fire or attack agains them. These incidents seem to be rising and are simply horrible for our efforts in Iraq. What can we do to stop this vigilante crap? Shouldn't these guards be made an example of ? Do you think they should be handed over to Iraqi courts for punishment? I think they should be publicly executed in the streets of Iraq. Total scumbags who destroy any efforts at peace we have fought so hard to obtain. I can only guess it's th whole adreniline rush, pack mentality that makes people do such stupid things without considering the dmage it does to our image and our cause.

Certainly AFTER the investigation we will know more, but a video of the incident showing no outside attack of threat, is pretty damning evidence, especially considering they claim they were being attacked.

Answer 1

AFTER the investigation if they are found to be wrong, then they should be punished.

But we should let the investigation finish first.

Answer 2

Looney Tunes.

Answer 3

Is the Video available to the Public to view?

Until it's available I'm not going to accuse them of Murder, nor unprovoked shooting

Answer 4

The worse this war goes the better, its just when the Israeli commodes come in pretending they are from Iran or 2 British SAS dressing like Arabs and shooting innocent people to instigate more civil wars.

This war could be going a lot better if they wanted it to be.

Answer 5

Your country will never achieve peace in Iraq - it hopeless and impossible because your leader does not have his heart set on peace.
