Re: Fighting terrorism
Afghanistan is often characterized as a warrior nation and up to this point I have not seen any reports of civilians being used as shields. If that holds up it should make it easier to avoid those casualties.
We did a pretty good job of avoiding civ casualties in the Balkans. Hopefully we can do even better this time. It will be a critical factor strategically and morrally, we must be very careful not to bring more grief to those pitiful people.
