This Isn't a Fallujah Palooza

Any discussion about war must include a discussion of the humanitarian consequences of war as well as a discussion of the humanitarian consequences of not going to war. The abuses under Saddam's regime have been moderately well-documented for a dictatorial regime, but little video or pictoral evidence of them exist.

The humanitarian consequences of the current war are not going to be truly know for a while, although I think the figure in the Lancet provides a better estimation of it than what people from ABC or NBC. Regardless, since Al-Jazeera is basically not allowed to be broadcast inside Canada, we only recieve filtered images of the Iraq war. This blog provides the most accurate images of what is going on inside Fallujah. Compare those images to what was in the Toronto Star on Monday, for example. Again, thanks to Chris for the head's up.
