WTF Is It Now?!?

Winning the hearts and minds of a conquered people
Bloodshed and bullets fuel rising hatred of Americans.

On Tuesday in Fallujah, Muthana al-Ani and Eptisan were serving dinner as the demonstration started outside. The atmosphere was tense with neighbours complaining the US soldiers were eyeing up local girls through binoculars. 'My mother went outside to see what was happening,' said their son, Khalil, 16, the oldest of seven.

Eptisan was hit in the leg; as Muthana ran out to her, a bullet hit the brothers' mother, Mufina, in the thigh. From the next house, Walid al-Ani emerged to help his brother and sister-in-law. Hit almost immediately, he fell dead.

Fallujah is now festooned with banners in Arabic and English reading: 'Go Out From Our City. If Refuse We Will Kill You. Because You Are Come Here For Petrol Not for Freedom.'
