No - if you think it is, you are jumping to a conclusion. Here, in more detail, is what I am inferring.
    1) You said that the families of dead Iraqi extremists do not deserve anyone's sympathy, and in fact, they deserve the same fate - meaning the families deserve death too.
    2)You also characterize "naive innocents" as carrying guns (I assume you are not making a blanket statement, but meant that some carry guns) which further suggests you believe they deserve death, and so do their families.

My point is nothing more or less than what I wrote: that the vast majority of Iraqi's do not carry guns and by any definition, "brainwashed" or otherwise, are in fact completely innocent, and therefore the vast majority of Iraqi's deserve the same good wishes for safety, that have been extended to coalition soldiers.
