I'm not arguing, indeed the insurgents, or more specifically the sectarian-based terrorists amongst them have killed more civilians than the coalition is believed to have done in Iraq. The point is that any civilian deaths make the coalition look bad because they're supposed be saving the country, whereas Al-Quaeda appear to have no interest in anything other than starting a civil war.
