Local Groups Call for EMERGENCY RALLY Against the US Attack on Fallujah
Bush won the election and now he is on the rampage. Fallujah, a
city in Iraq about the size of Rochester, is a hotbed of resistance to
the US occupation. Earlier this year, the resistance kicked US troops
out of the city. Now, as punishment for the people of Fallujah's
defiance, the US is trying to recapture their city. American planes
bombed Fallujah every single day for weeks. Now, 10,000 Marines are
fighting Fallujah's residents in the most intense urban combat since

killed countless numbers of people. Bush won't stop there--the US
wants to use Fallujah as an example, and take back all of the cities
that the occupation has lost control of.

Less-Than-Lethal?

They give officers a chance to leave their guns in the holster and defuse dangerous situations without killing.
