"Shock and awe" = "Terrorism" ??

It hasn't exactly had the desired results in Iraq. It certainly hasn't been effective as Blitzkrieg or the atomic attacks.

The idea sounded good, though, theoretically.

"The best laid plans of mice and men aff gan aglae."

Or some such Scottish bollocks.

The name alone is disgusting :(

America was threatened by Iraq in no way, it was just plain ridiculous, it's an "Angriffskrieg"


2 Million people was killed in Vietnam, 3 million injured. What for?

Figured putting into terms you could understand might help but the deal is ... you don't want to understand anyone's pov but your own. And for some reason you want to make a non-stop issue of it here with people who think you're a crack-pot. Those who agree with you have. Those that don't haven't. Get used to the idea.

Is this a case of the kettle answering the crackpot everytime the crackpot calls it black? Probably.
