I agree.
However remote control IEDs are detonated purely by choice. They don't care if children are playing in the street when the US rolls by in transports.
I keep hearing how the US should "pull out". Why don't the same protesters call for the the foreign born Islamonazis to also "pull out" of Iraq? They fight against the Iraqi military and police as well as fighting against the US military and contractors. They are invaders, not insurgents. They don't seek elected office in Iraq because they are not citizens.
I've never equated landmines and IEDs.
