American troops viewed Iraqis as untermenschen - the Nazi expression for "sub-humans".

Eeeeek. Stop. No credibility. Read no further. Nothing this person has to say is worth hearing.
Besides, the statement alone is an absolute insult and untrue of everyone I happen to know currently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
.... against my better judgment I read the rest of it. I knew it sounded like an article from about 1 year ago -- and that was confirmed when I read the "hearts and minds of the people" phrase.
As for the whole mortar thing... maybe the US approach is best. Maybe the next time an Iraqi hears the "phooomp" of a mortar being launched next door, he'll grab his neighbors and beat the hell out of the terrorists/insurgents/freedom fighters to keep our bombs from landing in the general vicinity.
