The US politics and military had often redeclared civilian targets as the military targets and then caused enough "collateral damage." Even politicians alone do that (before military strikes) with the systems of sanctions. It was claimed in the media that some 500 thousand Iraqi children died as the effects of the sanctions to Iraq even before the last Iraq war. Then the politicians are surprised that their army isn't welcomed.
