It’s good to get an Iraqi view on some of the mythology that people like Juan Cole are pumping into the culture about Fallujah. It turns out that Cole’s view of Fallujah’s history is the Saddam view, not the academic view. See IRAQ THE MODEL for the real story:
So you can see how conflicting all these info with what the two professors had provided; No revolution inside Fallujah, no bombing at all and not even the leading role they described for the tribes near Fallujah in the revolution that magically turned to be inside Fallujah in their posts. However I agree that history is kind of repeating itself, only with reversed roles. This times it%u2019s some of the Sunnis tribes that are making the mistake of opposing, or better say not doing enough against those who oppose the change.
Anyway, I don’t know which is worse; that the two experts in Arb world didn’t know about Dr. Al Wardi and his writings or that they knew but chose Sadam’s version of Iraq’s history!?
For someone who claims to offer Informed Comment, Cole is very poorly informed.
