I am not American; though I usually side with democratic countries as much as I can.
However, if you made a really big mistake and went to war with a country which posed no credible threat to you (at least in hindsight when this shooting took place) I'd imagine people would err on the side of caution when shooting somebody's family and loved ones.
At least in this part of the world, what is coming across is that your army does not care much about killing people - if they are not American or Western.
And to add some rhetoric, what gives America the moral right to talk about human rights when the Iraqi death toll exceeds well over one hundred thousand? -- What happened in Tiananmen is a mere _hundredth_ of what is happening in Iraq.
Killing ten Iraqis to save an American soldier is not justifiable, any which way you look at it.
