 The Lynching Of Four American Civilians In Fallujah, Iraq

 The town of Fallujah, Iraq may one day be as notorious as some of
 the backwater townships of Alabama or Mississipi were during the 
 days of Jim Crow segregation in the old South. The world witnessed
 Wednesday - almost as immediately as it happened - the lynching of 
 four innocent Americans by a crowd of crazed Iraqis.

 One day rationalizations for the lynchings will come by way of the 
 more militant spokespersons for an independent Iraq free of foreign 
 "occupiers." But raw hatred was on full display as the crowd cheered 
 as the vehicles containing the murdered Americans were reduced to 
 ash-covered metal from the heat of intense orange-flames that crackled 
 and snapped almost as angrily as the crowd. -- Later the blackened
 corpses of the Americans were dragged from the vehicles and beaten 
 with the backs of shoes. { a grave insult in Islamic culture } 

 Next the bodies were torn limb from limb, unceremoniously dragged 
 through the streets, and strung-up from a nearby bridge for display 
 to an international audience. This was a lynching pure and simple. 
 It was not a military operation or a justifiable act of revenge. This was
 a good, old-fashioned, lynching fueled by rage and contempt for the
 very people responsible for the "liberation" of Iraq.

 An Iraq where video cameras and unlicensed satellite links would 
 have been prohibited. The very devices this crowd of proud Iraqis 
 used to display their hatred for the American occupiers to a world-wide 
 audience.

 Fallujah is a town where the population { Sunni muslims } still take 
 pride in deposed dicatator Saddam Hussein. So perhaps it does not 
 matter to these maniacs that the four Americans who were murdered 
 on their turf were civilians. Men whose very purpose for being in Iraq 
 in the first place was to help rebuild the country and contribute to 
 establishing a more normal lifestyle for all Iraqi citizens. A lifestyle 
 free of the repression and tyrannical rule of men such as Hussein.

 But, like the irrational segregationists of days gone by, the residents 
 of Fallujah are full of nostalgia. They feel powerless as a new political 
 and social order is built around them. Thus, in their eyes their rage 
 and murderous acts are justified. -- And like the lynchings in the 
 American south this act of desperation will only hasten the day when 
 the old Iraq is but a memory. Because - the residents of Fallujah might 
 be surprised to find out - many Iraqis and other Muslims elsewhere in 
 the world are quietly hopeful about a democratic Iraq and were horrified 
 and disgusted by the lynchings that were accomplished under the 
 banner of Islam.

 Sadly, back here in the United States there is little that can be done 
 except to wait patiently and learn about the retaliation of our military 
 when it happens. But as we remember those insane lynchings in Fallujah, 
 Iraq. We must also remember the unilateralist American President 
 responsible for sending our boys to that ungrateful land. -- Iraq had 
 better become what the Bush administration preaches that it will. Or 
 all the precious American lives that have been lost, will have been 
 lost in vain.
