I read an Iraqian blogger some day, who wrote about this. The problem is, that there are several civilians, who really don't know how to behave with the American checkpoints. Most people from the city do know, but people from the country-side have had problems. They have simply not been informed with this.

Offenly the Iraqians seem to avoid Americans, who are more or less unpredictable and very lethal.

I can see it very stressful to be forced to fire innocent civilians for simple communicational reasons. The only people who can be totally neutral about this must be sosiopaths.

And, in which context the claim can possible be? It is well known, that the Iraqian rebels use guerilla tactics. The only enemies there are exist are the ones, who are very difficult to spot.
