In June 2004 the World Socialist Website published by David North waxed
ecstatic over the resistance to the US Marines in the battle of Fallujah:
One resident who spoke to the Los Angles Times described the uprising
as a popular revolt against the occupying power. “Every Fallujan who was
able to carry weapons participated,” he said. “All of us are mujahedin.
No masks will be used anymore by the mujahedin. We are struggling
openly. Our relationship with the new Iraqi commander and his people is
very good. They did not come on the back of the American tanks. They are
our sons.” The Times reporter cited a sign hanging on the gate of a
mosque that captured the mood. It read, “We are the soldiers of Muhammad
and not the soldiers of Saddam. We love death as you love life.”
Words such as “All of us are mujahedin” and “We are the soldiers of
Muhammad” prompt a different reaction today of course. They are
equivalent to Mein Kampf.
