'Civilian Casualty'? It Depends:

THE NEWS IS filled these days with reports of civilian casualties, comparative civilian body counts and criticism of Israel, along with Hezbollah, for causing the deaths, injuries and "collective punishment" of civilians. But just who is a "civilian" in the age of terrorism, when militants don't wear uniforms, don't belong to regular armies and easily blend into civilian populations?

The news is filled these days with reports of civilian casualties, comparative civilian body counts and criticism of Germany, along with its enemies, for causing the deaths, injuries and "collective punishment" of human beings. But just who is "human" in the age of terrorism, when Polish and Russian partisans don't wear uniforms, don't belong to regular armies and easily blend into civilian populations?
