Henlips, a British journalist, provided an unforgettable account of the nature of this war in his much-neglected eyewitness account, Cry Korea. Henlips was sickened by the carnage of the American air war, with the latest machined military might used against "an almost unarmed enemy, unable to challenge the aircraft in the skies." In September 1950, he wrote, "Handfuls of peasants defied the immense weight of modern arms with a few rifles and carbines and a hopeless courage...and brought down upon themselves and all the inhabitants the appalling horror of jellied petrol bombs." Every shot fired at the township in the path of war was blotted out." In such warfare, the slayer needs merely touch a button, and death is on the wing, blindly blotting out the remote, the unknown people, holocausts of death, veritable mass productions of death, spreading an abysmal desolation over whole communities."

Phillips has the kind of voice that sounds enthusiastic All the time. Fascinating stuff! More comment soonly. (I kinda knew W would manage to muck it up in Afg even if anyone including the Taliban had ever gotten the whole country under control, and then W had to go avenge his Daddy and let Cheney have the wells in Iraq...only it turned out Halliburton was more lucrative anyway...win/win for Those Who Matter!)
