I've spoken to some people that were at Fallujah. I guess everyone sees it differently, but they saw it as a massacre. Over 1300 "insurgents" dead, less than 100 Americans.

That's may be accurate but the way the US military works requires that outcome. When a squad or platoon is engaged in a firefight, the ratio of American troops to enemy troops is suppose to be 3:1. This varies depending on how well the enemy is fortified and what not. Another reason why this really needs to happen is purely economical. It cost hundreds of thousands to train us and losing even one soldier is both awful but expensive whereas the enemy just indoctrinates their young to kill Americans. This kill to death ratio isn't uncommon because in Vietnam it was around 10:1 for regular line units and 200:1 for SF guys. The US military is not built to take extreme loses and the training and tactics show that.

In fact, I suggest everyone look to west. In California[...]

Your saying we should look at California for our energy problems!!? I'm sure they have enough problems of their own (not all Enron's fault). The only way anything will get done is a solid leadership up top of a corporate company. Obviously that's very hard to come by with all the greed that comes with the position. Eventually it will happen if the voters/stockholders change it.
