"And so they should - but they don't. Obviously that is true of the train bombers - but it is true also of those who organised and carried out Operation Shock and Awe, designed specifically to terrorise civilians as well as military."

What were the TARGETS that the bombers were aiming at? if one wishes to attack military targets so that a civilian population can observe the effects, THAT is permitted. Byt intentionally targeting civilian populations, as the insrugents have done , are doing, and continue to do is in direct violation of all international war. So, how about some condemnation for them?
