thats what the US had always been doing; carpet bomb everthing in sight until even the rubble has been bombed over, then sent in a couple of marines to check if anything its still alive, and move on. but they cant do that in the case of iraq. right now the situration is that the US is on its own, no country is willing to help the states in case they attack, so they are pretty much on their own.
