>Lobbing missiles at civilians is coward's way to win a war<

That is without a doubt the most asinine thing I have read on this thread. (and that covers a lot of ground). Obviously written by someone who doesn't have a clue. "Coward's way"? What the hell do you think this is, King Arthur and the Knight's of the Round Table?

For one thing, we are not trying to win a war. We are trying to stop a government and a people bent on the extermination of everyone in the former Yugoslavia that doesn't share a common religion with them. We resorted to that after offering Serbia, through Milosevic a way out of bloodshed simply by halting aggression against ethnic Albanians. Because he has convinced the Serbian people that it is their God given right to kill their non-Serbian neighbors, Milosevic declined a peaceful resolution.

But I'm curious, what exactly is the "honorable" way to "win a war"?

Would it be to march up to each individual Serb and challenge them to a duel? Or perhaps it is lining up our opponents on the edge of a trench and machine gunning them? Is that honorable? It must be because you support the Serbs doing it and God forbid you should do anything dishonorable.

Stupid. Just plain stupid.
