I'm really glad you shared this article, X. I do read the Asia Times sometimes on the web, and one thing I noted is that it confirms what I read in another newspaper article--only 15 foreign fighters have been found in Iraq. Why is this important? Because, of course, it repudiates our brainwashing tv news coverage that one of the reasons we are still having so many problems in Iraq is because of all the foreign fighters there.

The reference to the U.S. using chemical weapons in Fallujah is of great concern. I hope it is not true, but who knows? Are international human rights associations on the ground there yet investigating?

Get a load of this passage from the article!

"At the moment, with fighting in Fallujah still raging, and the resistance hitting all over the heartland, this is how Sunni Iraq is reading what the Americans say: If you fight us, we will kill you. And if you don't participate in our elections, you go to jail. No wonder the resistance keeps growing."

Wow! Is that American-style democracy on the march, or what?
