Elfie - Fallujah was controlled by a bunch of nutcases. I don't think anybody ever disputed that. I don't remember seeing any posts saying it was a nice place to holiday. Why does anybody need to state the obvious about the terrorist types? But we hold our own troops in higher regard - they are an extension of us; while we purport to have a superior way of life, we must hold our people up to that level of scrutiny. Otherwise what separates us from the beheading types?
I tend to agree with this Dowding. My post was regarding the people who only need the hint of a rumor to start screaming about the US. Then when threads like this come up they are totally silent on the issue, almost as if they condone it.
