FYI SF, the four men killed were NOT soldiers, but civilians. I agree with the original poster-let's blown the town up.

They were part of a security force, which is the second largest armed force in Iraq, after coalition forces. The fact they were killed is , unfortunately, a part of warfare. The issue is the WAY they were killed, and the actions of the mob afterward.
This is a very bad situation, and will likely get much worse. The next move by our leadership will be very telling, and could very well change the nature of our occupation in Iraq, for better, or worse.
