Larry,
Read that BIGGER approach. As long as we leave them with no more firepower
than a camel born Springfield, I'm with it.
I know we can't wage a long ground war with any country bigger than
Lichtenstein and hope to win or have the backing of the populace here in the
US. But we can cripple them economically by taking out airports, bridges,
and seaports. Transportation is key to a companies economy and perhaps the
most vunerable.
