There has got to be some way of doing that. The English language is extremely versatile.

Is it okay to say that many Iraqis have been killed by American soldiers as directed by rules of engagement through a chain of command leading up to the Commander in Chief?

If it is not okay, then even facts must be prohibited in discussion. I don't go to the Politics board much, so I don't know if this is true about facts.

Generalizations are a different story altogether.
