Fleeing Fallujans killed as crisis deepens

Fleeing Fallujans killed as crisis deepens

Fallujans burn new Iraqi flag and curse US occupation

US soldiers have fired on a minibus full of civilians near a checkpoint on the outskirts of the besieged Iraqi town of Falluja.

Witnesses said a hail of bullets from occupation forces on Thursday turned the vehicle into a ball of fire.

Iraqi policeman Fuad al-Hamdani said four civilians were killed in the unprovoked attack.

People have been leaving Falluja following major US airstrikes on the town, 50km west of Baghdad

2. More voices needed to speak out--"Iraqi lives are important!"

The US media are acting as if Iraqis are less than human. There are many innocent people being killed--their lives snuffed out, not by Saddam Hussein's torture chambers and al-Quadas bombs, but by the US military.

3. Its the only way we can ever "win"

Show respect for the other's life -EQUAL OR GREATER THAN- that which you show for your own life.

5. We need to start a "Save Falluja" movement.

Or something - anything! We can't just sit by and watch the US thugs murder civilians and destroy a city - for no damn reason! Gods! Someone has to stop this!
