That's a practical plan, which has worked in the past. But I'm not advocating cutting off all shipments. I'm merely stating that any shipments into the city be curtailed and Fallujah based Iraqi distribution vehicles be required to travel outside the city to depots, whereupon only approved Iraqi companies would be permitted to take shipment and drive back into Fallujah. It would cause the price of all commodities to rise within the city, which would have a major psychological impact on most citizens there, while preventing our people from being exposed to direct hostility.. And we have the right to control who has distribution rights within the city.. Which sets up a rivalry and competition scenario that creates a "cause/effect" relationship... If we don't like a particular clan distributing supplies, we find another one willing to do so.. Hawk

Hi Jacob Snyder; Re: "That's a practical plan, which has worked in the past. ... They rounded up the entire civilian population, every woman, child, and elder they could find. ..." It's not practical now because we can't build a concentration camp big enough to house the entire Arab nation. It's something like 250,000,000 people. There were only about 250,000 Boers. Let me put it for you in graphics terms. Each "" represents 250,000 people: Here's the Boers: Here's the Arabs: ************************************************ ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** ********************************************** See the difference? There's just too many Arabs for us (or the Israelis) to put in a concentration camp. Putting just the 500,000 inhabitants of Fallujah ( i.e. ) into a camp doesn't work because that would further outrage their relatives outside of town. As long as we're on the subject, here's the number of Jews that were killed in concentration camps, scaled according to the above figures: **** ** ** **** These numbers are illustrative of the differences between shitty little nations and large powerful nations. Right now the Arabs are down, but they're not going to remain there forever. -- Carl
