Er, if you read what I said about the planes coming again, it should be clear that I was talking about on each combat mission to each target.

As for us announcing we were coming in the most general terms from far away, well, hell, Bin Laden did as much years ago.

Ziroc, I would be very interested in hearing how you think waging war by planes and missles accords with medieval notions of chivalry and personal honor. I'm afraid those notions are out of date in modern warfare.

Anyway, this whole discussion is turning silly.

It seems that y'all are now saying that the terrorists are cowards because they won't fight war on our terms, by our methods, by our weapons and tactics, in short, in a way in which we would have every advantage and in which it would be downright stupid and suicidal for them to do so.
