Most interesting this, from a point of view of language use, I see the US
Senate has just approved the quote 'use of force' unquote against
terrorists.
As too the US has declared itself at war, and 'leading the world in that
war' (I quote GW), the question of 'collateral damage' arises, that is to
say, it therefore becomes justifiable for 'civilian' casualties to occur in
that war against a nameless enemy.
