Iraqis will never forgive this- never. It's outrageous- it's genocide
and America, with the help and support of Allawi, is responsible. May whoever contributes to this see the sorrow, terror and misery of the people suffering in Falloojeh.

Murder...
People in Falloojeh are being murdered. The stories coming back are horrifying. People being shot in cold blood in the streets and being buried under tons of concrete and iron... where is the world? Bury Arafat and hurry up and pay attention to what's happening in Iraq.

They say the people have nothing to eat. No produce is going into the city and the water has been cut off for days and days. Do you know what it's like to have no clean water??? People are drinking contaminated water and coming down with diarrhoea and other diseases. There are corpses in the street because no one can risk leaving their home to bury people. Families are burying children and parents in the gardens of their homes. WHERE IS EVERYONE???

Furthermore, where is Sistani? Why isn't he saying anything about the situation? When the South was being attacked, Sunni clerics everywhere decried the attacks. Where is Sistani now, when people are looking to him for some reaction? The silence is deafening.

1. Why all the fuss?....Stuff happens when you're spreading democracy and
liberty to the masses!....I'm being sarcastic, of course, but I'm sure that's how George and his buddies see it...:puke:

2. Rumsfeld reassured us that "civilian casualties would be minimal"
Of course, who decides who are "civilians" is left to the purely objective minds of our beloved military...just like it was in Vietnam, where all those millions were apparantly combatants or committed suicide.

But, look at the bright side. Oil prices are falling so we can switch off the news (for what it's worth), fill up our SUVs (decorated with flags) and take a nice drive to Walmart's to buy things and keep the economy going.

Please don't disturb the American people with stories about what our glorious troops are doing, some may find it disturbing, and show signs of having a conscience.

4. All the comforts we take for granted, they are not getting...
I think a lot of people think of war, and just think of the people getting shot. But their whole infrastructure is messed up.

I was just thinking the other day about a presciption I take, which I need to live. The people in Iraq like me are already dead.

How sad

5. Exactly. anyone elderly, feeble, disabled, on medications, etc.
are dead in Iraq. There is no survival for the young mother at risk with her first pregnancy. There is no survival for a old man on dialysis. There is no survival for a cancer patient. There is no survival for anyone who needs constant medical maintenance.

Bush is a war criminal, and 59 million people are complicit in his crimes by enabling him.
