Why the high civilian casualty count?

Maybe it's because of where the Arab fighters intentionally position themselves:

Cvilians and children, worth more as dead propoganda tools than as live countrymen to the terrorists that claim to speak for them.

Where's Kofi Annan now? Looking at Reuters photos and decrying the Lebanese civilian casualties allegedly caused by Israel? Someone ought to show him this photo...
