The directly concerned express opinions on Fallujah
2004-11-14
Interesting responses from Iraqi's living in Iraq , compared to the wishy washy retards who live in Europe and America who post on the BBC 'have your say ' forum
  • From BBCArabic.com: I agree with Allawi's decision to attack Falluja. In fact, he should have done this much earlier, when the kidnappings started in Iraq.
    — Jaafar Al Jabri, Iraq

  • From BBCArabic.com: I am originally from Falluja. I support the government in its use of force to rid us from the terrorist gangs that have been wrecking havoc in my city and causing pain to my people. I say to Arabs outside Iraq: Please save us your comments because you don't know the crimes that have been committed by these gangs under the guise of religion and resistance.
    — Ahlam Jamil, Iraq

  • From BBCArabic.com: Some are shedding tears for Falluja and for the terrorists and murderers, but no-one seems to have spared a thought for the bereaved families who have lost loved ones because of the car bombs etc, manufactured by those criminals who call themselves part of the resistance. Allawi's decision is a sound one and should have been taken and implemented long before now. Iraq does not need criminals to defend it.
    — Wisam, Basra, Iraq

  • From BBCArabic.com: Since when has the hospital in Falluja been a strategic place, so much so that it became the first area to be taken over by the Americans?
    — Younis, originally from Falluja, Iraq

  • From BBCArabic.com:I blame Dr Allawi for waiting this long to take this decision. But we are with Dr Allawi in his efforts to get rid of these criminals.
    — Uthman Deleemi, Ramadi, Iraq

  • From BBCArabic.com: Imposing martial law is the right step to stabilise Iraq. The battles in Falluja are fought against foreign terrorists and insurgents.
    — Maher Abbas, Baghdad, Iraq

  • From BBCArabic.com: The decision of Dr Allawi is the right one, but it came a bit late. We all know that all suicide bombings in Iraq are linked to Falluja.
    — Muwaffaq, Iraq

    eeek and a kuwaiti opinion :
  • From BBCArabic.com:The Iraqi government is invested with all the legal rights to take the adequate measures. The situation deteriorated badly because of the support given by some Iraqi factions to terrorist groups, disregarding the interests of their own people. The Muslim Clerics Council's stance is partially responsible for this, as it allowed a confused population to kill Iraqis under the name of resistance.
    — Abdel Lateef Boughaith, Kuwait

#2  Yeah, the Iraqis generally don't understand why we didn't completely raze Fallujah several months ago - it's what they would have done. Ditto for most arabs. A desert society tends to cut short the niceties and just get the deed done as quickly as possible.

#1  Thank you for posting this.

One small matter: as a courtesy to those who have genuine learning difficulties, please do not refer to the willfully ignorant as "retards." Call the "wishy washy" parties above "willfully ignorant," or something more accurate and descriptive.
