I think the results of air wars are much overstated. Obviously you and I disagree on that. We could probably each find experts that share our view, but (imo) all recent wars prove that air power alone does not win wars, and if you can't wage a ground war (and I don't think there are many people who would argue we could, at the moment)- then it's better not to start a thing so uncertain. geocities.com But recent combat history provides a chastening lesson that air power, regardless of its accuracy and punch, cannot defeat even a conventional adversary unless it is backed by ground forces. Thus, American military analysts monitoring the conflict caution that Israel may be unable to reach its goal of disarming a shadowy guerrilla army by missiles, bombs and long-range artillery alone.
