And I'm sure this isn't winning any hearts and minds, either

I almost can't believe that my tax dollars are paying for gruesome stories like this.
"When you see a child five years old with no head, what can you say?" says a doctor in Fallujah whose name is being withheld for his safety. "When you see a child with no brain, just an open cavity, what can you say?"
The doctor says many were buried in the football until it became full. "When you are burying you cannot stay long because they (the U.S. marines) will just shoot you," he says. "So we use the shovel. Just dig a big hole and put a whole family in the hole and leave as soon as possible so we are not shot."
And so much for that ceasefire.
Humanitarian aid workers in Fallujah say the marines have been firing indiscriminately. Australian aid volunteer Donna Malbun says U.S. forces fired warning shots over her head Tuesday when she attempted to enter an ambulance to deliver relief supplies.
And the fact that we're now destroying homes in Fallujah, I don't think that makes us look like humanitarians, either.
