Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations envoy who is helping draft an Iraqi interim government urged the Bush administration Sunday to "tread carefully" in besieged Fallujah and avoid alienating an already angry populace. Before leaving Iraq he described the siege as unacceptable collective punishment. Asked about that Sunday, Brahimi said: "When you surround a city, you bomb the city, when people cannot go to hospital, what name do you have for that? And you, if you have enemies there, this is exactly what they want you to do, to alienate more people so that more people support them rather than you.

I'm sorry. I must have missed the insightful U.N. solution to Fallujah in his answer. Perhaps Sen. Kerry could explain it to me.

I am so glad the Marines are in charge, and not the band of idiots on FreeRepublic who claim MOABs are the only answer.

I am, too. But in fairness, I must offer a small correction. Most of that crowd would happily substitute nukes for MOABs.
