You have a point, but herding Shiite women and children into the streets during combat or to prevent combat, or placing them within the ranks of military units are things that should be unacceptable for all. Working out of hospitals or schools or mosques or parking military vehicles near these sites should also be deplored because of the willingness to risk the innocent.

If it were me, I might not abide by all the rules if faced with an overwhelming force, but I wouldn't use human shield's. I wouldn't put woman and children between me and the enemy in an effort to buy time or even save myself. I think this, in and of itself, is proof that the Iraqi army isn't fighting to save it's people.
