This kind of thing has been happening a lot in the past year. The only thing different this time is that it was an American. Last week, there was another incident where the "wrong" people were killed - Israeli guards.
Go back to redheadedmuse's post to see the article links I posted there.
There's a connection to make from this to the Gulf War, too. It's easy to forget that in the first Gulf War, the US military buried hundreds of Iraqi soldiers alive in desert trenches without giving them opportunity to surrender first. It's easy to forget that, because they weren't ours, so we think of it as a "clean" war.
