Put Fear In Them.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(EDITORIALS)(Editorial)
Iraq: The sickening display of depraved humanity seen Wednesday in Fallujah can't be erased. But steps can, and should, be taken to prevent another butchery.
We refer, of course, to the murders of four Americans by Iraqi insurgents and the nauseating sight of the victims' charred and mutilated bodies being desecrated.
It is bad enough when our troops are killed in the line of duty. But to see fellow Americans ravaged, their remains poked at, dragged through the streets and hung from a bridge for the world to see by a crazed mob perversely celebrating the slaughter stirs up the fury in all of us.
Officials for both countries are saying the right things.
A day after the heinous attack, Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Iraq, vowed the "deaths will not go unpunished." Iraqi Interior Minister Nuri Badran said he will send forces into Fallujah "to bring the killers to justice."
But will they do the right thing?
For the sake of humanity, they must. The justice that Badran spoke of has to be harsh and it must be public. There has to be an unmistakable message for Fallujah, a stronghold of Saddam Hussein's Sunni followers, and the entire Sunni Triangle: This barbarous behavior will not be tolerated.
