Fallujah Documentary
Absolutely must-see, though abhorrent, documentary from Italian tv.
It really is disgusting to watch - the U.S. used white phosphorus and MK77 (similar to napalm) in Fallujah and unquestionably inflicted civilian casualties en masse. So here we sit, having invaded Iraq over Saddam's chemical (and other) weapons stockpiles in violation of U.N. resolutions, ourselves employing chemical weapons in violation of U.N. resolutions and international law.
We need a word for "sad and livid all at once."
[Update] additional info regarding incendiary weapons vis-a-vis the Geneva Conventions here
