Lest we forget the atrocities involved in destroying a city, in
destroying a nation. "When I first saw the headlines of the NYT story,
'Fallujah's Fall Stuns Marines Who Fought There,' I confess I couldn't
read it. I knew what it would say. I knew it was a specimen of the
'shooting and crying' genre that is so popular in Israel, where soldiers
tell of the anguish they suffer in their own noble occupation duties. I
knew it would be a sickening display of exceptionalism."
