Can you imagine any parent willing to keep such a child in that city. After all the warnings .. after all of the waiting .. just to use that poor child for propaganda .. Citizens in Iraq aren't blessed with the easy mobility that all of us have. You are making the mistake of looking at everything there from your own personal, western-tinted, lens. There are people in Iraq that have sat in a car. There are people in Iraq that don't have the funds or ability to tramp out of the city. There are people in Iraq that would not have a destination to go to. Aid workers are not able to handle the mass exodus of an entire city - they can't even move about without fear of abduction. Those that wanted to and could leave Fallujua, did. Those that didn't want to leave - whether to fight or to be at their homes, a notion not unknown to us Westerners, stayed. Those that had no ability to leave - are trapped.
