"If you had you would know that some of the targets during shock and awe were civilian, especially water and electricity. " Incorrect, I commented on the targets of infrastructure. Hitting supply lines does not meet the definition of terrorism we are using. "It's notable that more bombs were dropped during 48 hours of Shock and Awe then were dropped in the entire Persian Gulf War." It may be notable but it is not evidence of terrorism. " The stated goal of Shock and Awe includes demoralization of the civilian population. Not true. Among the stated goals was to frighten the military enemy and to make sure they knew they had no place to hide. “there will not be a safe place in Baghdad when we attack.” There was no intent to hurt innocents so that the military would suffer. There have been major and minor efforts to reassure the innocents, and to demonstrate for them that we wish them well. Your statements to the contrary are simply false.
