good points, and no, I'm not trying to justify slaughters by any past or current world leader on the grounds that they thought their side was right(or to consider what Osama thinks)I'm just saying that when bombs
are used, even when necessary, accusation of the
T word rears its head. In these modern times, and as bad as a "traditional"war is, that's something to consider-especially considering how slanted the media can get with an article. It's easy to push a button and end off a few tons of explosives. We need to legally quiet down some of our own media before even thinking about a scenario like this. I'm not against freedom of the press, but sometimes the press abuses their own right.
As far as just bombing them all, war is sometimes necessary sure, but we need a balance somewhere. The pacifists have a point when they say killing for peace is like sex for chastity.

How'd we get from hunting with a .50 cal to this anyway?
