FALLUJAH, Iraq - Hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi troops in tanks, trucks and other vehicles surrounded the turbulent city of Fallujah on Monday ahead of a major operation against insurgents blamed for the grisly slayings of four American security contractors last week.
U.S. commanders have been vowing a massive response to pacify Fallujah, one of the most violent cities in the Sunni Triangle, the heartland of the anti-U.S. insurgency north and west of Baghdad.

The rest of the subjects that have been mentioned are some of the good things that have come out of that decision. His ties to Al Queida have been proven, Saddam is now gone. There will be no more filling of mass graves, no more rape rooms.
He didn't use a "stick of dynomite" on the Kurds. He GASSED them. The pictures of this event are HORRIBLE. His WMD were clearly there and had been used. He was also trying to develop nuclear weapons. This has been proven. You are lucky we stopped him before he was able to develop them further.
About them wanting us to go home - We want to go home too. We will as soon as the job is done, BUT NOT UNTIL. Did you read the article posted earlier about our success over there? http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/editorial/outlook/2487509

And why does one respect an arbitrary number posted on a sign? Only because of the negative consequences one may receive if it is not respected.

Oh yes. I added deference because of the following..............
>"1.
What is important is that others like them respect our strength and think twice before following in their footsteps. For now, we must show our power and determiniation in order to earn the respect of ordinary citizens of Fallujah.
Also the hearts and minds we have won in other areas of Iraq are in danger of being lost if we loose the respect we have worked hard to EARN by allowing Fallujah to degenerate into a lawless haven from which rebels & terrorists can operate in safety and inflict their violence on other areas of Iraq.

Wrong. You drive safely because of your concern for others. You generally obey traffic laws becuase of your respect for civil authority. You drive 55 instead of 60 because you respect the power of the police to stop you and give you a ticket.

What on earth are you talking about? The majority of Iraqis want us to stay, and their concern is that we are going to leave too soon before a proper democracy can take hold. A large portion of Iraqi's already report that their lives are better than under Saddam, and many more expect it to be by next year, and that before they have even started to see the effects of the $87 billion on their economy.
