Thread Name: BS: Falluja
Subject: RE: BS: Falluja
Falluja is Beirut again. Falluja is Warsaw in 1939. You will always find loyal Wermacht supporters back home on their comfortable seats who will point out that the fighters defending their own homes and streets are "terrorists"...lawless scum deserving of slaughter. Yes, by all means! When you control the skies of an invaded and prostrate nation with your mightly Luftwaffe, when the city is ringed by your deadly artillery, when your rumbling tank divisions stand ready to crush the poorly armed resistance fighters block by block...thump your chests with pride, declare yourselves to "the defenders of freedom" and call the people defending their own homes "terrorists" as you once called the Vietnamese defending their own villages "communists"!

And no one will convince you that it is YOUR leaders who are the real terrorists. No one. Your ears and eyes are shut to that.

But wait. Because your turn will come. It will come finally when you are clearly seen for what you are by a World community of nations that simply will not take any more.
