Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "In charity, I am telling myself that the residents of Fallujah lived through 30 years of Saddam Hussein, and it's only to be expected that some are brutalized and inhuman."

Iraqis seem to come in two basic flavors. You noted the brutalized and inhuman variety. (Though I'd say that my read of history indicates that their behavior is all too human.) The other flavor is the type that disapproves of the first type but won't do a damn thing about it.

Maybe we should force them all to watch "Sesame Street" for 20 years. Then the Iwaqis would wuv us.
