If you don't think Americans felt panic and terror when the towers and Pentagon were hit, you ought to rethink, seriously. You are right about attacks galvanizing people, including the American people. But dead people don't galvanize.
Carpet bombing galvanizes the enemy you say, and history proves it beyond contention, you say? Huh. Think Dresden. Or perhaps Hiroshima- that was a pretty good carpet bomb.
Fear breeds bravery. Yup. To a point, anyway. But the fear IS real on all sides, trust your common sense in this. And again, the dead don't galvanize. Ever hear of the concept of being dejected and depressed in defeat? Realize, it's just the natural way of things. Tough talk from one crazed "leader" who imagined the whole Muslim world would fight to the death to defend his perverted ideas, won't change the fact that the common Taliban soldier WILL be either dead or dejected in defeat(cowering head down in hiding, with the realization that most Afghans by far, despise and disagree with what he stood for), when this is done, IMO.
