- Exactly. The point is not just fly over and make some noise. Instead,
- when using force, it must be sufficient to generate the political result
- that is desired. Any less is foolish and wasteful.
-
- And I doubt Powell was suggesting we carpet-bomb Baghdad. Destruction
- of population centers has been somwhat discredited since WWII. It would
- certainly not work here.
