This would be devastating to America's reputation in the Islamic/Arab world IF Al Jazeera and other "mainstream" Arab media outlets had not been screeching and ranting at full volume since October '01 over hyped, slanted or entirely delusional "crusader" atrocities. Since they're already at "10" they can't turn the volume up any more!
Having been damned even if we "don't," there's no sense now in foolish restraint. I'm not saying, of course, that civilians should be targeted, but only that, in Fallujah, if so much as one bullet flies out of a house aimed at our troops, we should send one bomb crashing in. Move down the street and repeat.
