"Pacified" Fallujah? PACIFIED ??? More twisted language...

if you pacified your baby that way...

My family in Holland survived the flattening of Arnhem during Operation marketgarten. They would hardly call wholesale bombimg and slaughter "Pacification". This insulting misuse of language is shocking to me.

2. It makes war sound nice and cuddly. "Peacekeepers", "Pacified"
and other such words.
