Not that regime change in the US will make all that much difference, but I sure don't see any improvement ever happening without it.

catbirdgirl has an eyewitness report from Fallujah here. Don't read this if you're feeling fragile or vulnerable right now, but do read it if you feel you need to know.

I see the White House PR machine network news over here is now also trying to paint Spain as giving in to terrorists because they're pulling out. Well, as I understand it, a very overwhelming majority of the Spanish people never supported this caper in the first place, and now that they've quite naturally voted out the government who went to war against their will, the new leader is just doing what he was elected to do. Go him. And tell Tony Blair to start thinking about his retirement.
