P.S.
The town encurred major destruction in discrete areas.
Even though 'the enemy', some of those who stayed in Fallujah were not terrorists.
Rebuilding needs to go on, just as everywhere else in Iraq.
Do the people who stayed, and those who left their homes and businesses as the US asked, and who now return to find everything destroyed, not deserve the chance to be free IRAQI citizens too?
And if this particular group has the conviction to support that effort, regardless to the disapproval or punishment it might entail?
We have spent tons of money getting electrical power distributed to private citizens in Iraq. IT wasn't that we had to repair generator plants. It was that there was no infrastructure (utility lines, generating stations) for the people. It was all routed to Saddam's spoils.
Some of those we helped, still helped the terrorists.
Right now we are sending food,water,equipment,troops, money to ACEH. This was a major terrorism center, and most populations hit by the tsunami force waves were Muslim.
Should we judge PINK, when we have done the same?
Are you suggesting that to be fair we should be funding Al-Qaeda and other terrorists?
That since we destroy some areas that we are the same as the terrorists that we are slowly destroying?
What in the world are you saying?
You don't know much about Medea Benjamin or Code Pink, do you? When she says "the other side" she means "the Other Side"
