If only there were more of this in the MSM:

Some Iraqis elsewhere in the country say an offensive is the best thing that could happen to Falluja, a town which has become synonymous with Iraq's insurgency over the past 18 months.

"Allawi must attack Falluja in whatever way necessary because they are the main reason for instability in Iraq," said Iman Jadoa, 40, a clerk from the southern Shi'ite city of Basra.

"They must be made to pay," she said.

Others questioned why no suicide car bombs ever hit Falluja, and said the city needed to be taught a lesson if the Iraq was to be peaceful for the polls.

"I consider any invasion of Falluja a great step -- that's where the terrorists are," said Samkoo Mohammed-Ali, a university student in the peaceful Kurdish city of Suleimaniya.

"Why are there no bombings in Falluja? It's because a mosquito doesn't sting itself."
