Fallujah is symbolic of the tragedy of the Bush administration, and the Democratic party's failure to act as an opposition party, you mean.

If the god damn Democratic party had done it's job back in October 2002, there wouldn't be a Fallujah today, and the progressive left could be realistically pressuring the United Nations and the Bush administration to take decisive action in Africa, which is currently coming apart at the seams--again, I repeat: Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Darfur, Congo, Ethiopia...Africa is on the verge of a continent-wide bloodbath.
