[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] It also depends on the style of war being waged. Iraq is without a doubt a limited war with both military and political goals. Well its an armed conflict if you will since only Congress can declare war in the United States and I�m starting to become very tired of the talking head media misusing the term. In an unlimited war scenario a state does whatever it takes to win, including targeting the civilian population of a country to destroy their will to: 1) continue to fight 2) continue to support the regime in power The British and American bombing raids over Germany in World War II, Sherman�s March To The Sea and Sheridan�s Shenandoah campaign during the American Civil War offer examples. The Korean conflict offers and example of the conflict between limited and unlimited war. Douglas MacArthur wanted to bomb across the Yalu River into China thereby greatly escalating the war but was stopped by Harry Truman. Militarily attacking across the Yalu might have been the correct thing to do, but Truman didn�t see such an escalation as a goal of his in the conflict. [/QB][/QUOTE]
