"will encourage radical movements to adopt rocket attacks against U.S. and Western forces and assets."

The VC/NVA used 122's and 107's against us in Viet Nam, nasty things they were to. In a fire fight you knew more or less where things were going to go, but rockets are so bloody random. Don't know where they come from until it is to late, and don't have a clue where they may land. They were terrifying.

So what?

According to most Americans the killing of civilians in war means the terrorists are "winning".

I mean is it not a fact that the majority here will vote for Dems because Iraq is a so-called "mess" because civilians are being murdered in the marketplace.

And that means Iraq was a mistake and we should get out?

The President's approval on Iraq is low because the terrorists are winning by killing civilians.

Evidently, Americans and people worldwide are willing to give the Islamic Cults a great VICTORY for blowing up women and children.

Lots of bad blood to go around.

Wrong. Isreal doesn't use them against human beings.

Janes is hardly a BS source.

It would appear that from this and other posts later on, I cannot make a point. Yes, the hez-b-lah fire at civilians, yes they are monsters.

I looked at your Jane's link and the fleschette rounds are being used on guerrilla fighters, not civilians. Hizb'Allah Katyusha rockets were fired at Israeli civilians. Some of them were packed with ball bearing and other shrapnel
