Fallujah: Saved for Democracy?
Nice editorial by Colonel Hackworth. (And the reference to Fallujah falling should be taken in the context of a military operation -- which, in Fallujah, is in mop-up phase -- so that the city can be said to have "fallen". Also note that he speaks of "hubris" in making the declaration that Fallujah is "fully under control".)

2. Now if Bush had not been drunk during that war he may know this.
I think we should send him those books and have each of his girls read him one. Now I have never been in the service but if you read a thing about WW2 and the underground you can see what is going on. I think if I recall right. Hitler said 10 to be killed for each German. And in one country he killed every one in one town because some big wig Germany had been killed. Has every one for got that part of that war? We know they do not hear a thing about Vietnam but WW2 was the 'just' war.

3. Some pics
Warning this site has graphic photos from action in Fallujah.
Found this on another site, it is revealing and shows the ugly side of this war.
