it didn't work in 'nam. the problem is that we are fighting people who already live in third world hell holes, and there is no infrastructure to bomb to hell. we need to fight a civilized country that has a real govt, a system to destroy, and something to lose.
to have lasting affect, you should be able to tell the difference in topography pre and post bombing... (barbara ann ba ba)
my 2 cents

It didnt work because bombing trees has never been an effective strategy in winning wars. Iran has a military, and they have tanks etc. Desert Storm and the most recent conflict proved our airforce can level armies, especially in the desert, without boots hitting the ground.

And if the US is smart, we will let the rest of the world foot THIS bill.
