ake, do you prefer that we at least try to take out the most motivated hostiles or that we should dimply allow our guys to be put in the way of car bombs and IAD's? This is a case of assymetrical warfare. If we simply allow the other side to set off bombs destroying our people without responding in a similarly low risk manner doesn't that mean that we are setting our people up to be targets who can't shoot back at the people who are dispatching the bombs?

If we do not respond in a similarly assymetrical way we are allowing the other side to "profit" from their murderous ways. The generals are no longer safe behind the lines any more. The front lines are everywhere. We may be looking at the shape of future warfare.
