Whatever you want to call it is fine with me. I do have a problem with comparing it to Terrorism. The defination of terrorism according to Webster's New World Dictionary:
Main Entry: ter·ror·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈter-ər-ˌi-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1795
: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
— ter·ror·ist \-ər-ist\ adjective or noun
— ter·ror·is·tic \ˌter-ər-ˈis-tik\ adjective
Now that I read the defination I have to say that Shock and Awe and Terror Bombing have nothing to do with each other.

No, not at all. That's why it's called, "Shock and Awe"
You sound like you know what your talking about. I bet you're over in Iraq dug in with our top soldiers and have a good grasp on the reality of situation. Since you are there, if you have a better plan maybe you should walk up to a few Al-Qaeda and share your ideas with them. Have a reasonable discussion and some cookies and tea.
Good Luck and let us know how it works out for you.
Go Army...Hooah!

Well I suppose it could be. Except we don't intentionally target civilians, and we try to minimize collateral damage to any thing surrounding the target, and we don't attack targets with no military value. Nope guess you can't call it terror bombing unless you are an enemy combatant.

Liberals think they're so smart and all knowing, yet they try to compare a terrorist bombing to the legitimate targeting of a military target.
These are the same people that say "Our Troops" when in reality, they would rather be spitting on the troops...

Lets see....
On one hand, bombing military targets in a campaign to destory military effectiveness.
On the other hand, flying civilian airliners into civilian targets,
or planting IEDs into a toy cart, or maybe wearing a suicide vest into a school.
No, its not the same.
And remember... "Telling someone what they want to hear is not right."
