Shock and awe has been demonstrated as a concept only. Useful for
Power Point, useless, or more than useless, in terms of actual
application. If you do s&a, and it doesn't, your enemy is encouraged
to resist.

shock&awe has been the biggest strategic mistake the U.S. has made in
iraq.{besides attacking in the first place}
our army was more than capable of defeating the iraqi army without it
it was pure wanton destruction that destroyed the very infrustructure we
need to set iraq right.
how different would it be if iraqis had running water and electricity.
a restored economy would be the best thing towards pacifying the country.
