you know, i was just reading a thread in houstontx and one common thread came up about innocent people dying. the pro war person was saying that innocent lives are lost all the time in war, it's just a matter of fact. but then these are the same people who cry over the suicide bombers. it's a war to them. i'm not saying i agree with all of that though. there are definitely better ways to address their problems.

and so i also think about the revolutionary war. before then, all wars were fought where everyone stood in front of each other and just fired away. and some of our generals started a new method of actually hiding or laying down or whatever instead of being sitting ducks. and they also started targetting officers rather than just foot soldiers. this whole new way of fighting was considered barbaric to the english.

point is, the way wars are fought are always evolving. what is barbaric now may become the new way of fighting future wars. i hope not though. you'd think with the evolution of man and technology, etc, that we would find ways to AVOID war altogether.
