I think once you define the treatment as inhuman, it's rather nonsensical to debate what is more inhuman....

As they refused to stop when ordered to at a checkpoint after the troops had been ordered to use lethal force under such circumstances. Of course its understandable why they didn't stop, since the driver was under orders not to, and the women & children had families been held hostage, to be killed if they didn't do this.
Doesn't alter the fact that they were civilians. All the more grave because the whole war thing was without any valid reasons. It's an illegal war and killing civilians in an illegal war should probably be above all other crimes ...

Funnily enough, when one single suicide attack scared the shi t out of your soldiers so much they wiped out an entire family without thinking twice, and here you and your comrades have been defending it, you are very quick to comment on the so-called atrocities committed by the Indian forces in Kashmir But then you have never had any experience with terrorism

along with some not so foriegn journalists, and some snipers laying down fire on the Troops.
The journalists clearly mentioned they did not hear any firing for a period of about half an hour before the US tank opened fire on the building. Sorry mate, I believe those journalists more than your government.

Not aware of this one. Sorry!
It happened in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and there's no reason to believe it was not intentional.


self-defense is a good reason under certain circumstances.
And these circumstances were not those "certain" ones. All the claims made by the US as to why an immediate war was necessary have turned out to be phony.

Wishy Washy UN, bending over backwards to give saddam more time, after every deadline had come and gone, obviously never intending to do anything else, is also another good reason.
Irresponsible, spoilt and unfortunately powerful US, hell-bent on having its own way in every matter, which has consistently adopted a policy that has given rise to such powers as Taliban and Saddam, and then to correct its own mistakes it keeps making newer and bigger ones....
