Fallujah was straw the broke the back of my conformism, actually. If you can call it a straw without being a complete and utter asshole. Masskilling. And it sent me over the edge and I started looking into things. That was enough to send me over to the other side. I mean: it only takes half a twinge of curiosity to look beneath the coverage of Fallujah and see it as the eradication of an entire city. Despicable, disgusting. And if you’re not a monster that is enough to make you start asking some bigger questions. Anyway, Lenin has a post on the city, and its current use as a vindication of the occupation’s violence.
