Subject: RE: BS: Afghan War mistake or wise
Water treatments plants were contaminated by weapon's fallout. Power stations were unworkable. Infrastructure targets were indiscriminately hit by so-called "smart bombs". Any country that caused a cultural museum to be ransacked can't be relied upon to discriminate in the destruction of another country.
"Shock and Awe" was a term designed to intimidate Iraqis. After the fall of Saddam, the country is in worse shape than it was before.
Women are easily targeted now whereas under the dictator, they were given rights.
