Six Days In Fallujah

After six days in Fallujah, it is estimated that about 1,000 insurgents have died.

One wonders how one distinguishes an insurgent from an Iraqi civilian. One wonders how many civilians have died, and why no one mentions them.

Fallujah is a city about the size of Berkeley, California. It has been besieged by about 10,000 U.S. troops for the last 6 days. Will there be anything left of Fallujah when the battle ends?

It is acknowledged that Al-Zarqawi and the other terrorist leaders who made Fallujah their base left the city before the U.S. troops got there. Where are they hiding now? What is the next city that must be destroyed in the search for them? How many cities will be destroyed like Fallujah?

Destroying a country to save it is a strange and savage strategy. How many Viet Nams and Iraqs will it take before a better way is found?
