If I look at Dresden or Hiroshima, yes, the civilian population reaped the fruits of their support for their current regime. Add to that, many of the civilians were part of the ‘war machine’, working in factories. I can accept their casualties as justified.
But Fallujah is slightly different. Our occupation and subsequent evacuation of Fallujah has set up a situation where the local population has essentially been kidnapped by a group that (I presume) most don’t support.
This could get really bad, and I do feel for the civilians caught in the middle.
Fallujah could have been no problem...remember when they evacuated the city of civilians and cleaned out the gooners? There were actually 2 battles of Fallujah. If they were smart they would evacuate that shiithole and just let the air force level that place. Drop Daisy Cutters, MOABs, and clean out any old munitions out of he stock piles..
