#2 Civilains??

How do you identify a civilian when none of the Taliban wear uniforms? Is it because it was a child? Well the kids are blowing themselves up everywhere. A woman? Let's see now, how many female suicide bombers have we had in the last year?
Civilians? I would love to see the definition these thumb suckers use to define a civilian from a terrorist in that region.

#3 simple, a 'civilian' is anyone who's body is not currently carrying a gun that was killed by the 'evil' side.
in p-stan, if US killed em, they are civilians unless you can prove they had a gun.
in libya, if Q-daf killed they is civilians, if rebels killed em, they aint.
in Israel, IDF (or any other jew) kills them they is civilians, if the koranimals are killin, they aint.

i think you see the pattern. i dont have the fancy words of a NYT style guide, but am pretty sure that is how they decide it
