[Marxism] re: US atrocity documented in Fallujah

[Ben C <minnows@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Tom for posting that link.

I haven't been watching the TV news much, it's too ghastly for my
tastes, but on Thursday night I did watch ABC (Australia)'s "Lateline".
They showed footage of US soldiers in Fallujah engaging a sniper. After
an exchange of fire one announces that the sniper is wounded and lying
between two houses. Next, a troop casually leans over a wall, fires a
shot and announces "he's done".

We know about US army units being told to go and fight Satan in Fallujah
and all the rest. I'm sure these crimes are only the tip of the iceberg,
even discounting such things as aerial and artillery bombardment of a city.

It's good to see a couple tried for their crimes, but I bet the majority
(especially their officers up the chain of command) won't be investigated.
