A City Without Civilians: Does anybody really believe that the Iraqi puppet prime minister/car bomber/former Saddam's henchman/embezzler-in-Yemen, Iyad `Allawi, is running the show in Iraq? Is anybody convinced that this man can control US troops or even his American body guards who make sure to keep the occupation stooge alive? I mean anybody except those 59 million who voted for Bush, and who really think that Bush is making progress in Iraq? If `Allawi is really running the show why would he launch the attacks on Fallujah a mere few days after the US presidential election? Or is the timing purely coincidental here? But let the troops do their job, and let the nation rally behind them as they burn Fallujah. It is a city of terrorists, of course. The New York Times this morning has a picture (p. A6) of a wrecked building destroyed by US bombs in Fallujah, but writes in the caption that "Most civilians had left the city." Editorial policy of newspapers has to become more sensitive to red states now. We do not want to make it sound as if readers should cry for the victims in Iraq: even if they are civilians. So whenever you see pictures of women and children injured and killed by US bombs, remind yourself that they are all part of the Zarqawi network, or they could be part of Zarqawi's extended family, and that they all deserve to die. Whoever is killed by US troops worldwide deserve to die; such is the American doctrine in post-Vietnam America. This is why liberals before conservatives have to preface anything they say about war by the refrain: "I want to make it very clear that I support the troops." Support them in what, I have always wondered? Support them in Abu Ghrayb? Or in Fallujah now? But the civilian victims, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, also belong to an inferior race, and their killing does not, and should not, displease the members of the higher civilization who have been wanting to see Fallujah burn for several months now. Watch all those Democrats in Congress come out in support of the brutalization of Fallujah, and watch them cheer the heroism of US troops. To have some 130,000 US troops (aided by 28 Macedonian soldiers) pitted against some 2500 insurgents is real military heroism and courage.
