I suppose it is obvious to everyone except Scott, but I'm not defending U.S.
actions to any particular degree, I'm just objecting to Scott's axe-grinding
and one-sided presentations. And I'm a liberal! I hate Bush. I don't like
Israel's actions. I don't agree with a unilateral attack of Iraq. Bush is
feeding the world a line of bull. War isn't the answer to everything.
Scott is losing what should be a prime demographic. :-)
As to bombing from high altitude, that has never been particularly accurate.
To use it is almost always a compromise. I just object to Scott's depiction
of it.

Absolutely. And the Brits beat Sherman to that by half a millenia with
their chavauchees. :-)
