No shit:

8 Months After US-Led Siege, Insurgents Rise Again in Fallujah


Not until this war is recognized as propagating war -- a nationalist insurgency, if not civil war -- will it be possible to search for a solution to this disaster. You cannot kill and humiliate Iraqi nationalists in the name of liberating them or in the name of reconstructing a "stable" and "autonomous" Iraqi state. The problem with this recognition however, is that it would totally and publicly belie the administration's justification for and rhetoric of the war. This will not happen, thus the quagmire or Carrollian rabbit-hole the US is in.
