The enemey knows that they cannot give in to that. They have realized the limitation of bombs.

The bomb worked in WWII because we were fighting a government body. We're not fighting a government body right now, so bombs
can't work. Bombs simply don't work in guerilla warfare. That was true in Korea and Vietnam, and it is true today. We are coming to understand that, which is why there isn't crap for bombs and cruise missiles being used. Where the hell would we use them? On a city? Fine, we'll get something like 5 insurgents and 37 civilians. Even if only 1 family member or friend of each of the 37 killed civilians joins the insurgents (and I'm sure Al Jazeera will make sure of that), the insurgents just had a net gain of 32 members. Good work America!
