You are a rare voice of reason....but notbody here is inclined to listen. Interestingly, many of these are the same folks who once waxed enthusiastic about the Iraqis were "freedom loving" and "supported our troops." unfortunately this kind of "nuke 'em all" mentality was almost inevitable once we decided to get into this hopeless "nation building" war.

Thanks, Cap, even if I think most people say "Nuke them all to vent their rightful rage and their frustration.

Who wouldn't be enraged at the sight of cowards who only muster some courage when it comes to mutilating charred bodies ? I winced when I saw the pictures and quite frankly, my first thought was that since those people find it so funny to hack at dead bodies with shovels before hanging them, they should be given the chance to enjoy it themselves.

The US led the Coalition in Iraq as they led the Great Alliance in WW2 : they wanted to liberate a country from a bloody tyrant that was a serious menace to world order. And unlike post-WW2 Europe and Asia, where liberated people were grateful and even former enemies respectful, they have to suffer this, knowing that the next casualty could be their kid or mother or hubby. I know I'd sound much less reasonable if I had a friend or relative near Fallujah.

It's like a bloody nightmare, truly, but I have no doubt that the Coalition troops are up to the task, and that their leaders will show the necessary resolve and discipline.

We need to develop "drone" SUVs and Humvees with tinted glass that will drive through hotspots via radio control. When they are bombed and the bad guys think they can pull out some bodies, zip overhead with an A-10 and napalm them.

Probably won't happen though.
What needs to happen is what happened to say Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We said the war was over.
Fallujah says it's not.
So raze Fallujah. Then they will beg us to stop.
