Too funny! Donald Sensing
<font size=4>
I am reminded of a dinner I attended just after the campaign in Afghanistan began. Another guest commented that it <font color=blue>"wasn't fair"<font color=black> for US pilots to fly with impunity above Taliban positions, dropping bombs. I bit my tongue. Later, another guest said that the bombing <font color=blue>"wouldn't intimidate"<font color=black> the Taliban.

I dived in. <font color=red>"We're not trying to intimidate them,"<font color=black> I said.
<font color=blue>
"Then why are we bombing them?"<font color=black> came the question.
<font color=red>
"To kill them,"<font color=black> I answered. There was a long silence at the table. The concept seemed not to have occurred to them. With only a couple of exceptions, the others were university graduate-school students.
