Please don't put words in my mouth. Shouldn't every situation be treated individually? Isn't that one of the tenets of our society?
You also have to look into the kinds of civilian deaths which, whilst not strictly deliberate, are easily avoidable. e.g. there have been huge numbers of reports (which I dont have time to look for right now but im sure are easily available) of coalition troops shooting unarmed civilians in cars at checkpoints because they might be terrorists.
You really dont have to do alot of digging around before you start to find this sort of thing for yourself.
The reports I've seen are of unarmed civilians being shot because they drove/sped through a checkpoint without stopping or heeding any of the signs.
