Although i do not regret the death of Sadam's 2 sons who are known to have been *very* cruel to their people.

I regret this as well, but according to the reports it was a four hour pitched battle with over 200 American soldiers. There were the four casualties and none captured. What these numbers tell you is it's quite obvious that the army was attempting to take them alive. The only way three men and a teenager could hold off 200 members of the 101st Airborne division for four hours is if they were trying to capture and not kill. Unfortunatly it didn't work out that way as the four were apparently not willing to be taken alive.
