I hope the US doesn't go forth with this "shock and awe" plan. For a start they will be shocking and aweing the wrong people. The troops likely to remain loyal to Saddam are those that have been complicit with his bullying and who know they will be lynched when Saddam is defeated. Their only hopes are for Saddam to win, or to pretend they did not willingly aid him. No amount of shocking and aweing will change their actions. Secondly, such a plan will be to condone the same tactic used by bin Laden i.e. 911
