We operate on different levels. I don't value human life just because it's human. Never have. Scumbags exist only to be killed.

I do not mean "just" human. There is a bigger picture. The only way to bring "scumbags" is to bring them to justice not by provoking a greater conflict, so that more people die in needless conflict. The militaristic approach isn't always the best one.

???

I do believe the "antagonization" was on their part. That little bit of grenading and machinegunning a few folks who were guarding humanitarian aid shipments and then burning and beating the bodies, dragging them through the streets and hanging them off a bridge.

WHO was antagonizing again?

You're referring to Fallujah, I'm referring to Sadr(Edit: and mroe importantly, the Iraqi people in general). Two different fronts.
