Give me a break
Last I checked the State Department has not stopped issuing their annual Human Rights reports, their pious statements about Israel and the Palestinians etc. The US is doing things in Iraq which if any other country were doing would be teh target of fierce criticism from the US Government.

Way to miss the point.
You can hardly blame one administration for the actions of another.

Yup - You can only blame the American people.

Didn't miss the point at all
The point is that the US government acts in the do what I say not do what I do manner. It has nothing to do with which administration is in power. If anyone else in the world did what the US was doing in Fallujah you would hear the State Department talking about excessive use of force, the need to minimize civilian casualties etc. Do you remember Jenin in 2002? What did the current administration say then? What is happening in Falluja is much worse then anything that happened in jenin.
The same thing goes for WMD's. The US is opposed to anyone else making nuclear weapons, yet, the US is working on new types of nuclear weapons. Whats good for the gander is good for teh goose.

2002 was Bush
And so are the missiles. So yes, you did miss the point. You've obviously made up your mind on this so I won't bother pointing it out again.

"Right" ??
Or did you mean Righteous?
We have here a(nother) religious zealot, one possessed-of one of those capital-B Beliefs that, he is Doing Gawd's Will. He is attempting to bend to His (Gawd's?) Will: ~ 23 millions -- most of whom have picked one of about 4 Other Gawds, whose 'Will' they shall die/kill to execute. Too.
That's about Five (One-True) Gawds, if I can add.. and if it is fair to list a separate Gawd for each duelling sect as claims to possess The Only True One\ufffd.
bluke, What The Fuck Did You Expect Would Happen? (You heard the same bafflegab as we each heard, over four years)
And you know that this is the doing of a mere handful of people who are directing this witless man and whose propaganda campaign incorporated perfectly the time-tested principles of Herr G\ufffdbbels / matched his lust for Power at any cost / superseded the best that Herr G. could accomplish - via that leverage of modern techno improvements to the massive repetition of doublespeak.
You were expecting next, Wisdom?
{sheesh}
Here's [link|http://www.salon.com/opinion/letters/2004/11/18/fallujah/| another].
..and Gawd-fearing people loved to diss 'Gawdless Communism' as an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. You bet your sweet bippy, they did. cha cha cha.
