I think that U.S. troops policy could take a lesson from this slightly older article about the deployment of the Lebanese article in the current strife:
In Dibin, a shopkeeper, who had a generator propped against a door that had been blown to the side by a blast, recounted how he had fled the town at the war's start. In the month that followed, Hezbollah fighters took food from his shop -- tuna, rice, sardines and sugar. When he returned, more than 30 receipts were waiting for him, and he was paid in full, more than $1,000, he said.

and I agree. Too bad we're too busy dehumanizing arabs in general to "get" that.

Edited: I didn't really mean troops, I meant policy. I'm sure our troops are doing the best they can given the orders they've got.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
