Almost every day, Arabic newspapers and TV stations report about demonstrations by the displaced residents of Fallujah. They want to return to their homes. Ostensibly, the US government had surrendered sovereignty in Iraq to an "Iraqi" government. Yet, the US ambassador in Iraq can tour Fallujah, but its own residents cannot go there. Whenever the Fallujah refugees demonstrate, they chant:
يا علاوي يا جبان
يا عميل الامريكان
(Oh, Allawi, Oh Coward;
You are the agent of the Americans).
