Before British French occupation, British experimentation with poison gases, dropping them from planes on Middle Eastern targets, the Muslim world was known as exceptionally hospitable. Friendly (read Sir Wilfred Patrick Thesiger travel books to see what I mean). Dropping bombs on civilians will, to the surprise of the Obama administration (aka Bush Part III), cause people to be angry enough to take hostile action. Unbelievable, I know. Look how upset Americans were after the Twin Towers were bombed (with results that could not have been cleaner than if they had been controlled demolitions). Believe it or not, use of explosives on civilians will bring out the worst in people.
