I think you should go back and carefully read what the writer said. You
are taking violent exception to things he never suggested. He was not
discussing the goals of war. He was responding to very specific comments
made on radio, among other places -- comments similar to some I also
have seen, both here and in other forums, suggestions that we go in and
bomb or destroy Afghanistan and not worry about collateral casualties.
He has given a thoughtful answer to why that is not sensible. What is
your problem with that?
