THERE IS A WORD FOR IT

The attack is planned with careful
calculation. It will be sudden, precise.
Sophisticated technology enables
our winged weapons to be dispatched
pilot-less to the exact spot where
the enemy is hiding. War has
become wonderfully tidy, thanks
be to God. Yes, it's true that
occasionally men and women
and children, even babies, will
inadvertently have their bodies
torn apart, their blood and brains
and organs strewn across the ground.
That is most unfortunate. We do
regret it. We prefer, however,
not to dwell on it. In the official
report we will, of course, employ
the appropriate term:
"Collateral Damage."
