Any weapon is a risk to civilians in a war zone. The decision to use ordnance around civilians must always take this into account. The smartest bomb can go awry, or be targeted with poor intelligence. Instead of just outright banning a weapon with a real use when used away from population centers, military doctrine and common sense should dictate what weapons are acceptable where. An MLRS battery would be a poor choice for dealing with insurgents in Sadr City, that doesn't mean they should be banned outright.
