<Technology has improved to the point that the % of civilian casualties will be one of the lowest in the post 1939 history of warfare.> It has nothing to do with improving technology. If anything, the tools of destruction have made it easier to kill more, to reach deep into an opponent's homeland and do vast killing. It has to do with the slowly, very slowly, evolving ethic, that the deliberate mass killing of civilians is unacceptable for any reason. An ethic which was ignored in WWII, by all sides. It has to do with the fact that the Bush Administration doesn't want CNN to be showing pictures of bombed mosques, schools, hospitals. It has to do with the fact that support for the Administration's policies will ebb, in direct proportion to how many such pictures are shown on CNN.
