My condolances go out to him and his family.
However I agree with Johnny as well.

Innocent people got killed by bombs dropped by the US, many innocent people were also fired upon "accidently". Civilians who did not deserve this to happen to them were indeed casualties of a war which is/was not theirs. Yet, do people really give two sh*ts what happens to them? They're people as well. They deserve the same respect as you or I, or even Kenneth Bigley.
The Geneva convention cannot be changed just because of something like this. If the US strongly believes (or anyone else involved in this war) against terrorism then they must also offer support facilities for the country to keep running. Not all people in the country are terrorists.
You indeed ignoring the fact that there is innocence in Iraq, and discussing about the withdrawl of troops does show your ignorance to something like this.
Because something tragic and bad like this happens, you automatically decide "well, f*ck them all. they are all terrorists, lets see how they cope".
Just think about this but please don't take it the wrong way. The life of one soldier like this being taken, or thousands of innocent people not even involved in this war with their life taken.
Please don't take this the wrong way or anything, it is still a terrible thing to happen..
