Superbelt,
You do raise a good point, and erasing Fallujah would be absolutely grossly disproportionate if this is the only problem that American troops or contractors had had with Fallujah since the "end of major hostilities". It just seems to me that this is merely the most despicable of a constant flow of objectionable events stemming from that town. I realize it is hardly scientific, but it seems that every fifth or sixth killing of an American occurrs in or around there. With that as the context, I'm not sure that destroying the town would still be a disproportionate response. I am not - cannot - say it is the right thing to do, but it sure feels right.
