And the London Telegraph is reporting senior British army officials are growing more concerned over US actions in Iraq.

One official told the paper “My view and the view of the British chain of command is that the Americans’ use of violence is not proportionate and is over-responsive to the threat they are facing. They don’t see the Iraqi people the way we see them. They view them as untermenschen [or sub humans]. They are not concerned about the Iraqi loss of life in the way the British are.”

The official went on to say, “The US will have to abandon the sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut approach — it has failed. They need to stop viewing every Iraqi, every Arab as the enemy and attempt to win the hearts and minds of the people. ”
