OT/"Collateral damage" is inevitable Jack..

This may be different than other kinds of wars we've fought in the past. But it is a war. And it won't be pretty.

Sure we'll have the precise surgical strike here and there. But this isn't going to be the Clinton era of a few cruise missiles blasting empty tents in the Afghan desert.

Terrorists are notorious for not only killing civilians but hiding among civilian populations and using them as human shields. Then trying to make propaganda out of their deaths.

The American people will be forced to abandon politically correct notions such as zero tolerance for collateral damage and casualties among our troops that have dominated public opinion in the past 10 years.

Not advocating bombing of population centers that we saw inflicted on many German cities by the RAF toward the end of WWII.

But unfortunately, I believe there'll be a lot of civilian deaths in the Middle East. We must accept that.
