Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq has made some very serious accusations against his American allies. He stated publicly that American soldiers do not respect Iraqi citizens that they commit acts of violence against Iraqis on a regular basis.
My question:
Do US Soldiers on the ground respect Iraqis?

Spurce: http://archives.seattletimes.nwsour...b/vortex/display?slug=haditha02&date=20060602Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, head of a Shiite Muslim-led governing coalition that, at times, has expressed resentment of the U.S. troop presence here, on Thursday formally condemned not just the Haditha killings but what he called "the practice" of occupying forces' disregard for civilians in Iraq.
"These forces do not respect the citizens, some of whom are crushed by tanks, others shot. ... They run them over and leave them, or they kill anyone suspicious," said al-Maliki, who leads Iraq's first permanent government since the fall of Saddam Hussein, after a Cabinet meeting.
