The shock and awe aspect never resonated with me as something new in warfare. Prolly some wannabe's personal attempt at making a name for his special rice bowl and himself.

The Iraqis haven't seen shock and awe yet. Of course we don't want to stoop down to the savages level. We're better than that. If that means bearing the white man's burden again, so be it. We never had those kinds of horrors we are now witnessing when colonialism was de rigeur in the world of long ago.
