Surely this should be front-page news around the world today. US PLANES ARE DROPPING BOMBS ON BAGHDAD.
What can you say? Here's Juan Cole:
This is absolutely shameful, that the US is bombing from the air a civilian city that it militarily occupies. You can't possibly do that without killing innocent civilians, as at Ramadi the other day. It is a war crime. US citizens should protest and write their congressional representatives. It is also the worst possible counter-insurgency tactic anyone could ever have imagined. You bomb people, they hate you. The bombing appears to have knocked out what little electricity some parts of Baghdad were still getting.Think about it, after four years of occupation, US forces are forced to resort to brutal, inhumane tactics like this. When the dead children and women are paraded on TV, will this become news? Or are we only supposed to give a shit when the Al Quaeda terrorists kill innocent people, not the US terrorists?
