Wouldn't it be interesting if all the bloodshed going on in Iraq is just 
a variation of the "human shield" strategy, in which the bloodshed 
becomes an end in itself, with no possible political or military outcome 
of its own, designed to suggest guilt to the rescuers?

Hey, you're responsible for all of this, and, if you stay here, we'll 
just go on murdering each other any way we can.
