[IMC-US] Re: fallujah

[deva]

I would say that us-imc should cover us news

Now since the us has its nose and its fist spread all across the world,  
all news is in a way us news, but I think us-imc should be very careful  
about harming global imc

I am torn, because Fallujah is important news to get out to United  
Statesians, but if us-imc starts featuring the important news to get  
out to people, it becomes another kind of global features site. I  
prefer the idea of syndicating the global features in some manner
