Yes, the events in Fallujah will unify Iraqis and make it very clear that UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES the Americans must leave. Whatever kind of cosy deal that was envisioned with the Puppet Government is now finished, done, ancient history. There may not even be a Governing Council that survives this history. If you were an Iraqi, would you now want to be seen as collaborating with the Americans? It would be just writing your own death warrant. Namaste! Jim

"Saturday, as residents started escaping the city, they told tales that are sure to inflame. The residents refused to give their names, saying that even talking to an American right now could endanger their lives. But one, a doctor, said: "I was in my home for days, unable to leave, even to treat the sick, for fear of being shot. One morning, I decided I had to make it to the hospital, but just before I left, I saw my neighbor walk from his house. An American sniper shot him, once in the head. I was afraid to go out to him, to treat him. I watched him die." Another, a young woman, asked why the Americans had to take out their anger on a whole city. "They are angry, yes, but we were not all guilty, and yet we were all punished. Every time they shot another man, his brother, his father, picked up a weapon and swore to kill Americans." realcities.com ================== And the Americans wonder why they hate the US so much??
