Air Strikes

I was planning to keep quiet today, but I couldn't help myself. I suppose it must make some kind of military sense, but when American warplanes zoom in and wipe out dozens of civilian lives (NY Times, today, about Afghanistan, page 1, Baghdad, page 3) I suspect it's viewed as a cowardly way to wage war by the family and friends of those who die; not to mention thousands of their fellow citizens and millions of Muslims worldwide.
