http://www.suntimes.com/output/iraq/cst-nws-falluj05.htmlBAGHDAD, Iraq -- According to Iraq's government, people like Ismail Ibrahim should be glad Fallujah is all but rid of the insurgents accused of turning the city into a terrorist base and using its civilians as human shields.
But in a Baghdad school where Ibrahim and about 200 others displaced from Fallujah have been living since the latest fighting drove them out, the talk is of vendetta -- not against the insurgents but against the Americans and the Iraqi government.
''I feel hatred. I hurt. This is my city, and it has been destroyed,'' Ibrahim said, sitting on a thin mattress on the floor of a room he shares with his wife, seven children and another family.
''The people of Fallujah are people of revenge. If they don't get their revenge now, they will next year or even after 50 years. But they will get it.''
