Sending you packing-ma, then-- and dad-ma to Spidra, too.
I've seen studies that indicate that intense bombing campaigns pretty much solidify a nation's people against the aggressor. About the only time it ever worked 'correctly' was the atomic bombs in Japan, and then it was because it was so damn horrific.
Also, inspired by the wave of spring croppings, I cut her hair this afternoon, and she's now sporting a short layered bob
Could hair cutting be your new calling? You have a ready made clientel here on b.org.

I went out grocery shopping and bought good healthy things. Unfortunately it ran longer than I thought, and so I've missed the start of my regular yoga class this morning....

Gee, ya think? What the fuck else do they think it's going to do? Cow people into submission, I'm guessing, huh?
Sigh, I've caught up on my threads. Time to finish my paper. I feel urggy and sore throat-y, and not very motivated.
Well, one idea with some selective bombing strategies is to cripple the infrastructure, and destroy factories and such. This has limited usefulness in a place where most of those things are already destroyed. (I seem to remember than one of the problems in reprisal-bombing Afghanistan for 9/11 woudl be that they didn't have much in the way of 3+ story buildings standing.)
Nora, you can use some of the motivation I would have used for yoga, if I'd gone....

Oh yeah, right.
Go Nora, go! You can do it!
Timelies all!

Because that worked so well in cowing us back in 2001. I think America's "blow up anyone that vaguely resembles whoever did this to us!" reaction isn't that far from typical upon being bombed, actually.
