i agree about the hysteria. but, as i understand it, the point of bombing has always been about destryong strategic communications, transportation, and energy infrastructure. this is the strategy that the best and the brightest initiated in VietNam--and that was a hopeless disaster for obvious reasons. you can see the logic of it, no? think what a state of chaos we'd be in right now if our radio/tv stations, power plants, bridges, roads were out of commission.
