[WikiEN-l] [[Fallujah]]

[Poor, Edmund W]

Sorry about the "associated the Marines" thing. I may have provoked this
by taking OUT language tending to endorse the view of Bush opponents
that US troops committed atrocities in Fallujah. 
 
Anti-US activists said Americans "opened fire" on unarmed civilians. Two
US colonels said, no, we "shot back" and it's a real shame if any
unarmed Iraqi demonstrators were hit in the crossfire betweend armed
insurgents and occupation forces. 
 
(Wasn't there a movie called Rules of Engagment with a plot EXACTLY like
this? Who says no one watches American movies overseas?)

	Several new users with no edit history have suddenly ganged
together at the [[Fallujah]] article, demanding some sort of disclaimer
that Wikipedia/Bomis is somehow associated with the United States Marine
Corps and therefore cannot be neutral in editing such articles as
Fallujah.  It's pretty obvious that they're sock puppets for some
previously-known User (maybe Bird?) with an axe to grind, but the
discussion at [[Talk:Fallujah]] is instructive.
