You don't get all the news, GUEST,US. I just heard on the BBC less than an hour ago that there are still tens of thousands of civilians who have not fled, because they have nowhere to go, or because they want to protect their property from looting. Dumb decision, I grant you, but not one worthy of being branded a "terrorist" even as your body is being blown to pieces just to avoid swelling the civilian casualty stats.

Iraq is not a country of terrorists. Fallujah is not a city of terrorists. There are no such things, because terrorists don't organise themselves into cities and countries (wouldn't it be nice if they would, it'd be easy to spot them then...).

So when Lt Col Gareth Brandl says "But the enemy has got a face. He's called Satan. He lives in Falluja. And we're going to destroy him.", I say "Gareth, either you are a naive idiot, or an evil bastard peddling myths".
