#1 Fallujah, I'd like to introduce Big Brother. He's going to make life a lot more orderly for you.

#2 Since the Fallujans (Sounds like a Star Trek race of beings) like to keep murderers, criminals, and boomers in their midst, they are going to have to learn a different lifestyle. If they cannot, maybe the place needs to be reduced to sand and salted. Hats off the Marines for working to make something out of this sh*thole. I hope some Sunnis can learn to do some positive things besides yearning for the good life under Saddam.

#3 If you don't want to play by the rules, go somewhere else.

#4 Why isn't a Kurdish police force being installed?

#5 "...Buses would ferry them into the city, where cars, the deadliest tool of suicide bombers, would be banned..."
I am amazed our people can finally see the light on such measures! I was beginning to think car and truck bombs were being launched from an orbital platform or something! If the same explosions had been caused by scud missiles or Katousha rockets, we would have long had a defensive barrier up! Do the same for Baghdad, These people know how to get around without automobiles; which are only 100 years old!

#7 It occurs to me, reading today's rantburg, that the Sunni's need to come to terms with the fact that in less than a month, an elected government will be in place. The Sunni's don't seem to grasp that it is the Shia majority that holds their fate in their hands. We will stabilize and begin to go home. The Shia, once oppressed by the Sunni's, and with many a grudge against their Sunni oppressors, may not be as compassionate in their dealings with this arrogant minority, as the Americans have been. At some point, they are going to grasp this and have an oh &*^% moment.
