Ah yes - I guess that places you pretty well. Just as well for you that your loved ones aren't the ones being shocked and awed then? These are living breathing people you must realise surely?

The Pentagon's war plan for Iraq has roots in a new doctrine called "rapid dominance," introduced in a book by military theorists Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade Jr. [...] Ullman has compared the affect of rapid-dominance theory to what befell Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the atomic bomb attacks that ended World War II. The Japanese people, he said, were prepared to fight a suicidal battle to ward off invasion of their home islands. "Then we drop two bombs," he said, "and they quit." That, he said, was "shock and awe." globalsecurity.org Ullman, Harlan - Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominance amazon.com ___ <<I've never heard that expression before and that it sounds like something the media made up>>
