Since the dead were helping to get water and electricity up and running, we should destroy power grids and water supplies to Fallujah, then starve them until they give up the perpetrators and celebrants. Then level the place.

i dont think destroying whatever water facilities they have and leveling the whole town would be the best response since we are there to help them. the perps of this should be brought to justice, but we shouldnt punish the whole town. that just doesnt work. any military person knows that. not to mention it is inhumane, childish and unamerican to destroy something cause your mad at someone, then build it again trying to show them how nice you are, and then destroy it again when something goes wrong. that is counterproductive and wont work. this is a horrible example of how war can go wrong, but those men knew what they were doing and they knew the people they were facing, and i like to think they faced the horrible atrocity that awaited them in fallujah with honor and bravery - after all it isnt going to be an easy slog in iraq, and we are there to help them, not destroy them. right?
