The images of the attack in Fallujah are among the most grisly of the Iraq war. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Baghdad, has said that the killings of four civilian U.S. contractors “will not go unpunished.” But while American political and military leaders promise retaliation, some say that public reaction to the Fallujah attacks is still very much in flux, and that seeing the images and anticipating the military response may be leading us to a pivotal moment in support for the war.
