Civilians are not a protected species in warfare. In fact, they are the ones who send the soldiers (in democracies, anyway). The notion that civilians won't be killed is a wrong one. Obviously, they will. From the view of a terrorist, I would imagine it's much easier to target civilians than soldiers. MAD was based on the targetting of the whole Earth's population, not just military targets. The ultimate terror, I suppose.

I don't think it's right; I just think it is.
