That is the new defensive driving technique! 
Actually I saw a CBC documentary of Canadian Forces in Kandahar driving like that. It is to avoid becoming a target of suicide bombers. They just hate to be killed or hurt!

LOL!!
Either that or they are responding to a distress call....if they are even US marines. Why not journalists, or private contractors. People will rather believe that Ahmadenejab wants nuclear weapons for peaceful reasons than anything else.
Its convenient to forget that 90% of the violence/atrocities in Iraq arecomitted by muslims against other muslims. e.g: Shia vs sunni vs shia.
There was a neat article by Thomas Friedman in yesterdays NYT about the issue. titled
Martin Luther Al-King?
http://theunknowncandidate.blogspot.com/2007/01/friedman-on-politics-in-iraq.html
heres an excerpt:
I can logically understand the lack of protest when Muslims kill Americans in Iraq. We’re seen as occupiers by many. But I can’t understand how the mass slaughter of 70 Baghdad college students last week by Sunni suicide bombers or the blowing up of a Shiite mosque on the first day of Ramadan in 2005 evoke so little response. Every day it’s 100 more.
I raise this question because the only hope left for Iraq — if there is any — is not in a U.S. counterinsurgency strategy. That may be necessary, but without a Muslim counternihilism strategy that delegitimizes the mass murder of Muslims by Muslims, there is no hope for decent politics there. It takes a village, and right now the Muslim village is mute. It has no moral voice when it comes to its own.

The sad part is, what if those people had thier famlies in the car may be a frail old grandmother or a year old baby... in the back seat!
Would your love and respect overflow for those maniacs in the truck bumping your family around the road like that...?
We expect our armies to represent a civilized world.... or so we put it that way, us the "The good guys" helping a failed nation....

Is your point that the American Soldiers should drive slower(if infact they are american soldiers)? I think they are one of the many private contractors. Maybe the troops(if they are US troops) were going to save some innocents going to be massacred yet again.
Or is your point that the Americans should get out and let the Iraqis kill each other in greater numbers? That we should get out of the way so they dont hate 'us' and hate each other instead?
Looks like the Iraqis(including the frail grandmother) are worse off in the latter case.
e.g:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6320495.stm
So is it the Iraqis that you are really worried about or is there another axe you are grinding?

Not sure about this "we". The video was from some middle east country. Driving on the right side.
