The ultimate issue with undeclared, limited warfare. personally I believe that if you are to fight a war it should be declared and fought all out. Yes, civilians will die, but if war is in retaliation that is the initial aggressor's decision. Keep in mind that to me terrorists are a subset of the Country that protects, funds, supports them. My wife survived the bombing of Essen as a small child. 90% of the city was destroyed, but that is what war is.
