look at it this way, EJ
"However it seems that some powerful countries see civilians around their enemies a just obstacles, shields to be destroyed or penetrated."

What would do you do? Your enemy loads his warships with civilians, cruises off your coast, and starts attacking your cities. Do you respond, sink the ship with all hands onboard, or do you sit by and watch your populace die?

It's the responsibity of the government to protect their citizens, not use them as shields.

"I find it interesting that some countries were against torture as far back as world war II (even prosecuting jailers as war criminals), while now saying it's okay to do on their enemies"

Yeah, totaly different world now. No longer can tell your enemies from your friends. Just come into the country, rent a house, put on a hood, blow up a building full of people, take off the hood, go get a burger and fries, watch some TV. Don't even have to issue a formal Decleration of War, just use the rules of the Geneva Convention as a shield.
