Who are we kidding?

                 The lead-storm was brief, but lethal: 41 shots
                 were snapped off in a period of no more than eight
                 seconds. Nineteen of them perforated the slender
                 body of Amadou Diallo, pinning him against the wall
                 without knocking him down. At least one round had
                 pierced the 22-year-old’s aorta — mortally wounding him.

                 While one officer summoned an ambulance, Officers . . .
                 went to retrieve the gun, only to discover, to their
                 horror, that there was no gun — only a black wallet
                 and a pocket pager.The New American, Vol. 15, No. 10
                 May 10, 1999 NYPD Tragedy by William Norman Grigg



The New York City Police Department is not known for being particularly
honorable; and they proved their critics right when they shot 41 bullets
into an unarmed man who was standing in the entranceway to his apartment
building.  Sound familiar?

The USofA is proposing to use a similar tactic on Iraq.

Postscript:  I would remind the world that David slew Goliath with a slingshot.
             And the Vanguard brought down the World Trade Center with nothing
             more than a one-way ticket charged to their American Express card
             -- don't leave home without it.
