consider these articles, which I can remember similar stories going back to May 2003

What is the common thread there?

Iraqis being killed by other Iraqis (or by non-American/coalition foreign invaders). The target was not even American troops so it does not seem to be part of some country-defending insurgency.

Granted that Pandora's box was opened by the invasion, but a large, large part of the slaughter has not been done by the US military, it has been done by the enemies of the US military.
