BEGGED Kofi Annan last month to somehow intervene so that the Americans would not continue to drop bombs on them.
Well he did and we know the US response. to paraphrase:
"We don't need no "begging" let the mutha fuckas burn
Burn mutha fuckas burn."
Disgrace. Genocide.

Following are excerpts.
His Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan
Secretary General of the United Nations
New York
Falluja 14 October 2004
Your Excellency
It is very obvious that the American forces are committing crimes of
genocide every day in Iraq. Now, while we are writing to Your Excellency,
the American forces are committing these crimes in the city of Falluja.
The American warplanes are dropping their most powerful bombs on the
civilians in the city, killing and injuring hundreds of innocent people.
At the same time their tanks are attacking the city with heavy artillery.
As you know, there is no military presence in the city.
There had been no actions taken by the Falluja resistance in recent weeks
because the negotiations between representatives of the city and the
Government were going well. In this atmosphere, the new bombardment by
America has happened while the people of Falluja have been preparing
themselves for the fast of Ramadan. Now many of them are trapped under the
wreckage of their demolished houses, and nobody can help them while the
attack continues.
On the night of the 13th October alone, American bombardment demolished 50
houses on top of their residents. Is this a genocidal crime or a lesson
about the Amer i can democracy? It is obvious that the Amer icans are
committing acts of terror against the people of Falluja for one reason
only: their refusal to accept the Occupation.
