It's a madhouse!

The Army reports that it still isn't certain what caused the Black Hawk helicopter to crash in Tikrit yesterday, killing 6 GI's. Nevertheless, to show the inhabitants that we have "teeth and claws," we have bombed and bulldozed buildings in Tikrit. If we don't know the cause of the crash, these can only be the blind flailings of frustration and rage. And the targets? Empty, abandoned buildings.

Does any of this make sense? Does it begin to feel like Israel/Palestine? Nazis/Paris? Rome/Carthage?
