As for dealing with the content...well..political considerations are important and also.
a) in the invasion of iraq, the ratio of american/british deaths to iraqi deaths was extremely favourable with the weapons that are currently deployed

yes, but some still see 4,000:400,000 ratio to be not good enough, and quite frankly, less dead on our side, the better.

b) his instance of zapping a car full of suicide bombers is valid but it depends i guess on how cheap and quick to deploy they are
|
Easy to deploy - mounts on a Humvee

c) his instance of zapping an entire city block pour encouragez les autres, is somewhat....extreme. Thankfully this guy, with his notable lack of humanity, is not a field commander. But really you have had this capabilty with other weapons for a long time and wiping out city blocks for this sort of thing is avoided for reasons other than not having the weapons.

Go back to WWII - civi's are not exempt from being targets. In reality, they are a teir 5 target, and an important one - break the will of the people, and you eventually win the war. Examples are firebombing germany's civi poulation, and using the atomic bombs in Japan.
