stevo, yes - war without casualty would be worth working towards.
There are plenty of non-lethal weapons that can be employed - at a cost. What I'm averse to is usage of things like landmines that continue to injure children for many years after the conflict ends and other cheap and indiscriminate weaponry.
Yes, both are suicide, but my point is that an attack against civillian targets delivers a more effective blow to the enemy than one of a more traditional millitary nature.
Ironically, it is the US' millitary might that makes it a target for terrorism.
