Moreover, Hutus or machetes make very difficult targets, even for low flying surgeons. One great advantage of fighting Serbia (a concentrated rabble) rather than the Hutus (a dispersed rabble) is there are several hundred thousand organized troops, 1,500 tanks, and 300 MIGs to hit. The great lesson of Somalia, if we care to learn it, is never fight a war against anyone who doesn't have fixed military assets that we can bust. It may not win the war to burn out Tokyo, Hiroshima, Dresden, Hamburg, or Pyongyang but it makes you feel as if something was being done until the infantry takes over, and it annoys the enemy no end.
