I'm not going to argue that at all. Those pictures show the reality vs the rhetoric, and the absolute distortion of that reality being presented to us through Pentagon controlled media. Is it any wonder Al-jazeera was officially banned from reporting in Iraq? We are committing every war crime and act of genocide we have used as an excuse for military action in my lifetime, save 'turning back the red tide' which is loominig to re-invent itself.
This war has been compared to WWII regarding Pearl Harbor and 9/11, but I think a much more accurate view would be to compare Fallujah with the Nazi Blietzkriegs of Paris or London. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Rowland Scherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On11/18/04 6:03 AM, Garth Cartledge wrote: > > The underlying difference between Iraq and Vietnam is that there is > no Soviet-backed "North Vietnam" > > Garth: > Let's not quibble about inconsequentials, okay? > > There was no reason (as it turned out) to go to Viet Nam and do exactly what > the French army did.
