By L. Reichard White April, 2004: In the attack on Fallujah, which ended after 3 weeks in defeat of the “coalition”: “Forces bombed the power plant at the beginning of the assault; The town was placed under siege; the ban on bringing in food, medicine, and other basic items was broken only when Iraqis en masse challenged the roadblocks. After initial instances in which people were prevented from leaving, U.S. forces began allowing everyone to leave except for what they called ‘military age males,’ men usually between 15 and 60. Keeping noncombatants from leaving a place under bombardment is a violation of the laws of war.
These are harrowing accounts of military atrocities. To my eternal shame, I fell for the WMD con trick, and in the wake of 9/11, supported the 'Western Alliance' invasion of Iraq. It seems like weapons-grade evil in retrospect. Those poor kids, mothers, families, people.
Ive been saying the same thing to my wife and kids—Putin is an animal, but who in gods name are we to be talking about how bad it is to invade another country.
