as well as waiting for favourable days of the week to conduct its campaigns...NATO's answer to civilian death toll: smaller bombs
NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer says the alliance will use smaller bombs in its campaign against Islamist Taliban rebels in Afghanistan to try to limit rising civilian casualties....
"We realise that, if we cannot neutralise our enemy today without harming civilians, our enemy will give us the opportunity tomorrow," he told the business daily.
"If that means going after a Taliban not on Wednesday but on Thursday, we will get him then."

LOL. The "days of the week" thing sounds more like Asterix in Britain, though, where Julius Caesar defeats the ancient Britons by the simple expedient of attacking only after 3 pm (when the Britons stopped to drink hot water with a drop of milk in it) or at weekends (when the Britons stopped fighting altogether).
While the Britons regarded Caesar as the most appalling cad for this ungentlemanly behaviour, they were powerless to resist him.
hi, since Jesus ordered all the faithful "out of the world". don't you think that we should be as abstain-ant (sp?) observers. please forgive me for any misspellings?
