Our military forces are about to attack the Iraq city of Fallujah, a stronghold of Iraqi resistance to the American and Coalition forces occupying Iraq. Previously, Coalition attempts to take Fallujah met with such fierce resistance that the U.S. Marines were forced to withdraw. Our forces have regrouped and are now setting up to annihilate everyone remaining in the city.

In preparation for this attack, women and children have been encouraged to vacate Fallujah, while Coalition warplanes have been softening up identified Resistance targets. All men under the age of 45 trying to leave Fallujah are being arrested as suspected Resistance fighters. The others are hunkered down in the city, preparing defenses and awaiting the inevitable attack. Just like the Alamo.

The Coalition forces far out-match the defenders in Fallujah in firepower. When you have unmatched firepower, you don't need superior numbers of soldiers to fight the defenders holed up in an urban area if you don't care how many non-combatants get killed in the process. All you need do is indiscriminately wipe out every single man, woman and child remaining there with massive "Shock and Awe"-- and that is exactly what the Coalition forces are prepared to do.

This attack will be genocide by its very definition, just like Mexican General Santana's assault on the defenders of the Alamo many years ago in what is now San Antonio, Texas. Santana's forces also far outmatched the American defenders, and the intended message Santana wanted to send was that resistance to Mexican rule was futile. He wanted to impart fear of any further resistance to Mexican rule. His forces killed every man remaining.

That tactic backfired on Santana, because it filled this fledgling nation with a rage that eventually drove Santana and his brigades south. While Santana's assault on the Alamo was a success, it translated ultimately into his defeat.

I fear this impending attack on Fallujah will be the Iraqi Alamo, and I believe it will also backfire on any hopes our president and Coalition forces ever had to stabilize Iraq into a Democracy.

Mark my words.
