| 2. Yeah, but using air power is like using a broadsword when you need a scalpel. |

A 200 lb. bomb has a large kill radius. Might kill lots of civilians in the process of killing guerrilla fighters.

| 3. OK, but the lowest in 14 months is incorrect. |

Besides, 71 deaths in September, seven fewer than July 2007, is still 71 deaths too many.
