I disagree with the (supposedly) "Reverend" Mr. Robertson about almost everything, but I'm with him on the general idea this time. (Not with his choice of target, necessarily, but with the methodology.)

Warfare is stupid and wasteful, and huge numbers of more-or-less innocent people lose their lives over political and governmental differences. Why kill thousands of civilians and young soldiers when it's the leaders, heads-of-state, etc., with whom you have a disagreement?

Certainly, the current "war on terrorism" would make a lot more sense if Al-Quida leaders had been targeted by elite assassination squads, rather than Iraqi cities pummelled by saturation bombardment.
