I just want us to do what works in Iraq. Nuking Fallujah is not going to work. A thoroughgoing pacification of Fallujah is what is required, and will demonstrate to that part of the world that we are capable of doing so and willing to do it.

Don't hold your breath.

Yes, that's very much true. Pacification is not another name for appeasement, as Allied troops largely proved since WW2. IMHO, it calls for a stern but fair justice, the will to use military force if and every time it is necessary, and some good police work to weed out the insurgents.
