"Low-Tech vs. High-Tech: Different Types of Bombings in War"
Categories
Excerpt (first and last two sentences)
"In recent
days the United States military campaign in Iraq has been shocked by the
addition of suicide bombings to the growing list of threats to American
soldiers. Civilian soldiers, paramilitary groups, and false surrenders are now
supplemented with the frightening prospect of bomb-laden vehicles, soldiers, and
civilians with fatalistic senses of loyalty to either the Baath party of Iraq or
the growing anti-American movement among Arab nations....
...Perhaps, the only thing that can defend against the threat of bombings
is to assuage the fears of American soldiers and convince them to remain focused
on the military goals set before them. This is the only method that will
prevent the effects of these tactics to reach the Iraqi citizens."
