(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH

Trying to Bring Some Order to the New World Order: "A lot of us have been trying to figure out why it should be a legitimate form of warfare to bomb villages from above, but not legitimate to pack one's body with explosives and blow oneself up in a crowd. The body count, the manner of death, and the effect on the innocent in the name of policy are all the same, are they not?"
Maybe it's a class thing: 'rich' bombers who can afford planes and helicopters are excused, while 'poor' bombers who can only afford their lives are not.
