Who's the bad guy here?

VENTURING FORTH A man and boy warily go outside to assess the damage to their neighborhood in Samara. The boy’s white flag does not deflect the barrel of a soldier’s gun.

This photo, courtesy of New York Times, really caught my eye, so much so that I had to share it with my bloggers. The very first feeling I got from this was absolute horror to see a gun pointed at these innocent people. Then immediately after thinking that I had second thoughts telling me that this kid and old man probably have a bomb strapped to their side. Is that wrong to feel that way? Seriously, how are we supposed to feel this? How do our men and women in the armed forces handle this without absolutely loosing their mind?
Anyway, I thought the New York Times had a very interesting set of photos in their slide show, so if you would like to check it out, here is the link: New York Times Slide Shows!
