[lbo-talk] more on Fallujah

[Luke Weiger]

Let's suppose your the leader of Good Socialist State X and determine that
an insurgency in some country (let's assume it's like Iraq in most every
particular) needs to be defeated.  What measures would you employ?  War's
awful.  It's inexcusable when pointless, which appears to be the case in
Iraq.  That's the real problem.
