Well, it might feel good to say such things, but in the end, war is more complex than just killing people.

No, it's not. We have made it more complex. That is the problem. If a terrorist knew that we would kill his family and extended family if he hit us, you don't think that would have an effect on terrorism? We only hit military targets. I say hit the hometowns of the Baath party leaders. Carpet bomb them. See how willing they are to fight after we annihilate their families.

Very well put.

I don't agree, war is all about killing people, the enemy. All Bath Party members should be rounded up and unceremoniously executed.

The hell it is.

I agree. I'd rather leave the mop-up to the thousands of specialists woring on tactics than a talk show host. No offense to Lonsberry, and I share his frustrations, but let's give this a little time before we start criticizing.
