FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - U.S. Marines in the third day of a battle to pacify this Sunni Muslim city fired a rocket and dropped a 500-pound, laser-guided bomb on a mosque compound Wednesday, and witnesses said dozens were killed. Shiite-inspired violence spread to key cities in Iraq.

The racism in the media is astonding: "Shiite-inspired violence" is spreading. The correct headline should read "anti-occupation violence is spreading".


and look what happens:



Muslim rivals unite in Baghdad uprising
Shiites, Sunnis join forces against U.S. troops

That ain't no civil war -- that a war against occupation!

Although I don't believe that the divisions between the two groups
were as extreme and rivalrous as our media claims, they're clearly against being occupied.


I wonder what the rest of the Arab world thinks about our deliberate attack on a holy place. I know that the Geneva Accords forbid it but our president 'doesn't need permission to protect America'!


I bet Sharon is very happy!
