First off, Cruise missles do not miss. There is actual video footage during the Gulf war of a huge number of cruise missles flying straight over a reporters head in the middle of town, comming to an intersection, and making the turn around the corner. It is one of the most advanced navigation system on the planet.
Second it is not America's policy to enforce their own choice of government. As long as it is not Communism, and they respect other nations, we really dont care what government they have. Gulf War gave the government back to the elected officles and away from the dictator.
Government is not the threat, it is the individuals that belive they are outside all laws, and do what they damn well please. Terriosm is such an instance.
THis attack was on air defence systems and perminate instilations of known terriosm. All their "training camps" and the sort. Destroy their foundation, and they will be forced to try and rebuild with little time, and little resources. Not to mention we will be able to see any type of rebuilding. This is just the beginning. Setting up a "beach head" of sorts so we can go in their and exact and enforce justice.
Todays society has spawned techno nerds of various degrees and much of what was said in the article is quite true, but only to a certain degree. I personally have seen many "children" with strong political thoughts, knowladge of history and a wealth of knowladge about what they believe in, plus that which is only aquired through self study because of inadiquate schools. I don not belive that the sub class of the youth today is computer-literate or not. It seems to me to be the close-minded, and the open-minded. Close minded focus only on what is in front of them, their hobbies, and other intrests, what effects them right then and there. Open-minded look around from time to time to see life in all its beauty, and splender. I have been in both catagories, and I am now that much stronger for it.
