Here's the story of what just happened in Fallujah. Here are two pictures of the incident.
It's been painfully obvious what should be done about Fallujah for quite some time. If we do it now, it will be said that we're just reacting to what just happened. Fine, the people who matter will know that we're just belatedly doing what we should have done long ago. Our response should be measured and targeted AT FALLUJAH. It is inexusable that there were American contractors in that cesspool to begin with, they belong in the parts of Iraq that WANT to be rebuilt. The case that this occupation is a quagmire is almost entirely based on Fallujah, the rest of the country did indeed strew flowers at the feet of our troops. This is one more nightmare we're getting ourselves into by refusing to differentiate between things.
