Even in todays world that very thing still happens when war starts( rape of women,innocent murdered,prisoners) one can see from the war in iraq. What some american soldier have done to innocent iraqi women. But just like the country it is america will hold those soldiers accountiable for their actions."

Exactly right. those soldiers have been charged and sentenced for their crimes. Those soldiers have always been accountable for their actions. Can the same be said for the islamic militants they are fighting.

It's funny that you focus on the few instances where US soldiers or UK soldiers have committed crimes. In nearly 4 years of conflict in Iraq, you could count on the digits on your hands the number of these instances. Whereas we hear on a DAILY basis of on average 50 muslims being killed by Islamic militants in bombings and shootings. The targets aren't the soldiers anymore it's innocent civilians. Do the maths. In the last two years how many Iraqis have been killed by coalition forces compared to Iraqi insurgents.......??????

You kill you own people, but as usual you point the finger at others instead of at your own !!!!!!
