Non-Lethal Warfare....

The New York Times reports with obvious pleasure on the "changed rules of war" being followed by our Navy fighter pilots in Afghanistan. Most of the time the planes don't shoot at anybody, on purpose.

On the other hand, the same Navy commander being interviewed remembers the "kill 'em all" attitude they followed in Kosovo, not that long ago. I remember that what we did in Kosovo "worked." That is, it accomplished what we sought to do.

What we're doing in Af-Pak doesn't seem to be working. Is there a conclusion to be drawn here?
