The Fog of War

R.J. Matson, 4/28/11:
You know, most warring countries, in most eras, would have just killed guys like these on general principles. (And several dozen -- or thousand -- more.) Not saying that's a good thing, but civilized modernity does come with its share of new, complicated headaches.

It does make you wonder, though, on those late, dark nights, if the "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" crowd are really serious, and what that would actually mean.
