Poll question: Do you support Fallujah?

If I say, "I support Fallujah", is that a bad thing?

Isn't our country supposedly HELPING Iraq? Isn't that why we are supposedly there?

By saying "I support Fallujah" I mean I accept their right to exist and I understand why people of Fallujah would want to fight against the USA.

9. so do I

I don't think peace can be supported until we support the likes of Fallujah.

I don't think it's a matter of peace on our terms.

8. I don't think the Americans need to be killed

but I don't think they need to be there, either.

I thought I explained it well enough...

"By saying "I support Fallujah" I mean I accept their right to exist and I understand why people of Fallujah would want to fight against the USA."

5. I supported the Jay Garner plan...

Unfortunately Bush and his PNAC pals didn't... we've past the expiration date in Iraq and it's turning sour.

6. Needlessly controversial to get attention?

This poll doesn't help lurkers understand the situation, imho.

10. I think it should be easier for lurkers and others

to be able to imagine supporting Fallujah NOW rather than later - when each side is even more entrenched in the idea that each other is the enemy.

I don't see any diplomacy happening. I just see us getting more and more revenge.

11. My friend asked me would you support the french maquis or the german

occupiers he put this question to me esp since my fathers an active duty cause he loves to question people (hes gonna wind up with his ass kicked all the time cause people dont like to think) any way i told him i do think this occupation/war is illeagal and unjust and do think the iraqis have the right to defend themselves but to a certain extent i also told him i wish my father would go awol so he would be outtta harms way and didnt take part in this unjust occupation.I said i would 100 percent support the iraqi "intifada" if it were only the war hawks and occupation hawk fighting
