Response to post about Car Bombings

Response to post about Car Bombings
I agree with ED, car bombings are not a good way to fight a war because they do not attack people of importance, they kill innocent civilians, it is simply a cowards way to fight a war. But, I believe that when people plan car bombings, they are not strategically killing, they’re simply making an impact and showing people that they mean business. I am not disagreeing with ED’s point, this is a stupid and unfair way to fight a war, but I believe, car bombs are sent to “cut us deep” and really hurt our nation. Sure, it is terrible when a troop dies in Iraq, but he volunteered to go fight, he knew his risks, people walking through a shopping center or at work in the World Trade Centers did not sign up to fight. Therefore when these innocent people are killed it is not only more shocking it can also be more painful for the families who didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. The article posted is very interesting I personally believe there is more to it then given. Terrorists may be smart and able to hi-jack plains and get past security, but they are not strategically killing people who hold power, the kill to kill.
